President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan believes the war in Karabakh may resume at any moment.

In an interview with Bloomberg agency, he labeled four-day April hostilities as “a war” not simply ceasefire violation cases. Long range weapons were used during the hostilities, including Smerch, TOS, Turkey-made large-caliber weapons, all types of artillery, up to 152 mm caliber.

“What kind of violation can be discussed if the actions involved several hundred tanks?” he wonders.

The head of Armenian chief of staff received a call from the Russian chief of staff and was told  that the Azerbaijani side had agreed to cease hostilities as of 11a.m. on April 5.

Prior to this, the political and military leadership of Azerbaijan declared twice that they are willing to cease hostilities, the Armenian leader said.

“Our Chief of the General Staff went to Moscow, where he met the chiefs of staffs of Armenia, Russia and Azerbaijan. They reached a verbal agreement not to shoot,” the president added.

The Armenian leader emphasized that he is speaking about shooting, not truce, “because we said that we do not need to install truce, but to restore the truce agreement which was signed in 1994 and reaffirmed in 1995.”

President Sargsyan added that although agreement to maintain ceasefire exists, violations continue. The troops were not withdrawn, tanks and artillery either, and hostilities may repeat every second. “Perhaps, on a larger scale,” he added.
