ArmInfo. The latest incident once again stressed the need for the immediate resumption of negotiations, is confident the American Co-chairman of the OSCE Minsk Group Richard Hoagland.
On February 25 Azerbaijani armed forces attempted to attack in the south-east (Martuni) and eastern (Akna) directions of the contact line. Advanced units of the NKR Defense Army, including by the means of surveillance, early detected the enemy offensive and threw it to the original positions. The enemy retreated, suffering losses. The Armenian side has no losses.
"In our February 25 statement, my fellow Co-Chairs and I reiterated our call for respect for the ceaseyre and a commitment to the non-use of force. This latest incident once again underscores the urgent need for the parties to immediately resume negotiations on establishing lasting security and peace in the region", noted Hoagland while answering to "ARMENPRESS" request.
