YEREVAN. - The April events showed that we are dealing with a subject which can violate its international obligations any time.  

Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Armenia, Shavarsh Kocharyan, stated the aforementioned Thursday, during the parliamentary hearings on draft 2017 State Budget.

In his words, Armenia realized this before as well but now this has become apparent for others too. Observation of the ceasefire agreement of 1994 is the international obligation of Azerbaijan.

The Deputy FM recalled that the negotiation process over Karabakh was taking place between two subjects – Azerbaijan and Nagorno-Karabakh - but at the last moment Azerbaijan, through the mediation of Russian diplomat Vladimir Kazimirov, said that Armenia must also join the talks.

“The fact that Armenia is a subject of international law confirms that Azerbaijan violated its international obligation,” Kocharyan stressed.
