ArmInfo. The Azerbaijani Defense Ministry's reports that the Karabakh troops use 60mm and 82mm mortars have nothing to do with the reality, says Colonel Senor Hasratyan, Spokesman for the NKR Defense Army.
"First of all, we would like to see at least one proof for the adversary's allegations against the Karabakh side. As regards the Azerbaijani army's regular shelling with mortars, the Karabakh side is ready to present numerous proofs," Colonel Hasratyan says. In addition, if the Azerbaijani side is interested in disclosure of such cases, it should follow the Armenian side's example to give its consent to introduction of investigative mechanisms on the line of contact, which were discussed during the meetings in Vienna and St. Petersburg. "And finally, the Karabakh side is ready to conduct monitoring at any moment and at any place of the line of contact with the mediators' participation to reveal the attacking side", Senor Hasratyan says.
