The number of losses increase as a result of incidents caused by Azerbaijani irresponsible statements and speculations, says Armenian defense minister.

In the course of his visit to Brussels Seyran Ohanyan met on Thursday with Miroslav Lajcak and Gunnar Wiegand officals of the EU External relations directorate, responsible for Eastern Europe, the Southern Caucasus and Central Asia.

The sides discussed regional security and issues related to peaceful resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, ministry’s press service informs Armenian News-NEWS.am.

Minister Ohanyan said he considers unacceptable Azerbaijani snipers’ shooting in the line of contact following the March 5 meeting between Armenian and Azerbaijani leaders during which certain agreements were reached.

The EU officials stressed importance of peaceful solution to the Karabakh conflict, expressing readiness to provide assistance to improve atmosphere of confidence-building.
