Deputy Foreign Minister Shavarsh Kocharyan stated that the matters concerning strengthening of the ceasefire regime set in 1994 and 1995 are on the negotiation table at the moment.

The matter is the offers made by the Co-Chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group in 2011 about the withdrawal of snipers, introduction of mechanisms for investigating the incidents, if necessary, installation of relevant equipment, he told journalists on April 24.

“What negotiations or documents are we talking about if they are shooting?” he wonders.

Deputy Minister added that unacceptable violation of the ceasefire regime have recently become a tradition, it also applies to the resumption of hostilities on April 2-5.

Kocharyan recalled that the ceasefire agreement dating back to 1994 said the parties had reached an agreement not only on the issue of the ceasefire, but also agreed to put an end to the hostilities. Both violations of the ceasefire regime, and renewal of military operations are unacceptable.
