YEREVAN. – It will be indispensable to identify the violator of the ceasefire, once the monitoring mechanisms are introduced at the Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh) conflict zone. 

Vice President of the National Assembly (NA) of Armenia, Eduard Sharmazanov, stated the aforementioned at Tuesday’s briefing, at the NA, with his German colleague, Edelgard Bulmahn.

At the talk, the Armenian side informed the German side about Azerbaijan’s aggression and crimes against the Artsakh soldiers and civilians, alike. 

Sharmazanov noted that the Armenian side considers a peaceful settlement on the basis of three precepts, and within the framework of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) Minsk Group, to be important. That is why the agreements, which were reached during the Armenian and Azerbaijani presidents’ recent meeting in Vienna, need to be carried out. He added that the German side likewise accepts these proposals.

“We consider the introduction of trust and investigation mechanisms to be important, since trust and monitoring will enable to not to place parity between the two [conflicting] parties, and to openly say who has violated the ceasefire and who the cause of tension is,” Sharmazanov said.

The Armenian parliament deputy speaker added that everyone should come understand that the right of Nagorno-Karabakh people to self-determination has no alternative.
