On October 16, following the results of the Geneva meeting with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan announced the absence of specific agreements on the resolution of the conflict, underscoring the agreement on measures to reduce tension, in order to avoid victims at the front line. Already on October 19, the rank-and-file defense army of Artsakh Tigran Khachatryan died on the contact line from the enemy bullet.

Given the unacceptability of the positions of the parties to the conflict, in particular Azerbaijan, we have to admit that it would be naive to feel exaggerated expectations from Geneva, "the expert said. After the April aggression of Azerbaijan, with more than 100 victims from the Armenian side, Yerevan insisted on the implementation of the proposals on the deployment of mechanisms for investigating incidents in the conflict zone in order to continue the high-level talks. Azerbaijan subsequently refused to sign this agreement .
