YEREVAN. – Azerbaijan shows its true colors. This is sabotaging of the agreements reached in Vienna and Saint Petersburg.
Vice President of the National Assembly (NA) of Armenia, Eduard Sharmazanov, on Friday told the aforesaid to reporters in Parliament.
He noted this reflecting on the Azerbaijani armed forces’ diversionary penetration attempts on Thursday night, at the line of contact between the Karabakh and Azerbaijani opposing forces, and which the Armenian side has successfully pushed back.
“This is contempt and rejection of the agreements reached at the brokerage of US Secretary of State [John] Kerry, and Russian President [Vladimir] Putin,” said Sharmazanov. “I believe the international community—and first of all, the [Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) Minsk Group] co-chair countries [i.e. Russia, US, and France]—should do everything so that the agreements reached in Vienna and Saint Petersburg are brought to fruition.”
In his words, with such steps, Azerbaijan once again confirms that it has tangled in the negotiations and met an impasse, and, also, it has failed.
“The international community must strongly condemn and put pressure on such demeanor by Azerbaijan,” added the deputy speaker of the Armenian NA. “If this is [Azerbaijani President Ilham] Aliyev’s response [to achieving a pacific settlement to the Karabakh conflict], the international community should voice a harsh assessment, and realize who aggravates the situation.”
At the same time, however, Eduard Sharmazanov ruled out the possibility of the resumption of a full-scale war.
