ArmInfo. On the eve of the meeting of the Presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan, Serzh Sargsyan and Ilham Aliyev, Baku continues provocations. Tigran Balayan, spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Armenia, wrote about this in his Twitter microblog regarding the death on the contact line from the Azerbaijani bullet of the Armenian soldier Chaplin Markaryan.
Earlier, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan with the lips of his spokesman Vladimir Hakobyan reacted to Aliyev's accusations that the Armenian side failed to disrupt the negotiations on the Karabakh settlement. In particular, Sargsyan noted that the provocations of Azerbaijan on the eve of high-level meetings are of a traditional nature, but this time the AR carried out provocations not in the contact line with Karabakh or the border with Armenia, but in the center of Baku.
It should be noted that the co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group announced the forthcoming meeting of Aliyev-Sargsyan and the readiness of the two leaders to return to negotiations.
