ArmInfo.Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan revealed the details of a short conversation with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev in Dushanbe and spoke about  the agreements reached.

"I had an interesting contact with the President of Azerbaijan. In  fact, this contact was also informal, and this was our first such  contact, the first such discussions," said Pashinyan during a live  broadcast on his Facebook page, summing up his visit to Dushanbe,  where headed for the meeting of the heads of state of the CIS.

He recalled that in June of this year in Moscow, Russian President  Vladimir Putin introduced him to Aliyev, however, after that there  were no contacts or conversations. "This time we had some kind of  substantive conversation, following which we fixed several important  points. The first is that we agreed to instruct our defense ministers  to take concrete steps to reduce tensions at the front line, that is,  we are talking about steps to eliminate incidents I believe that this  is an important agreement, "the Armenian PM said. At the same time,  he stressed that he had informed Artsakh President Bako Sahakyan  about this agreement, and this agreement was also acceptable to him.

"In fact, we can say that there is an agreement on the implementation  of measures to prevent violations of the cease-fire regime on the  Armenian-Azerbaijani state border and the contact line of troops, and  I gave the relevant instructions from Dushanbe to the Armenian armed  forces in the evening of September 27, and I am glad to say that last  night was the most calm, at least since my time at the post, "said  Pashinyan, adding that he reached an agreement with his Azerbaijani  counterpart to stop the so-called" hunt for people "that was before,  which led to casualties on both sides.  At the same time, the  Armenian Prime Minister stressed that the next point of the agreement  with the President of Azerbaijan was the expression of adherence to  the format of the negotiation process to resolve the conflict, and it  was stated that the conflict should be resolved peacefully.

"And the third most important point, I think, is that we agreed to  create some kind of operational communication system. But how  difficult it will be to say communication is because there are no  specific agreements yet. But the relevant departments have already  been assigned to work on creating some kind of operational  communication system between the parties since we are constantly  confronted with the problem of who first violated the cease-fire  regime. If we really want to comply with the full cease-fire regime,  and not something inadequate, then we must have such an operational  communication system for communications software, "- he said.

Pashinyan noted that he had communicated with Aliyev on the evening  of 27 and 28 in the afternoon, and the main content of the  conversations was on how to make the tension at the front line  subside and provide for a cease-fire, because if we are talking about  resolving the conflict, then appropriate atmosphere.  According to  the head of the Armenian government, it is not very logical to talk  about resolving the conflict amid shooting, and steps need to be  taken in order to begin a conversation about the agenda and content  of resolving the conflict in a normal atmosphere. In conclusion, he  expressed the hope that the agreements reached with the Azerbaijani  leader will be respected, assuring that the Armenian side will do  everything to make them effective.
