ArmInfo.Representatives of Azerbaijan once again, having abused the platform of Eastern Partnership, instead of talking about cooperation within the framework of partnership, they make provocative statements. On July 10, during the press-release after the informal meeting of the member countries of EU's Eastern Partnership program, Foreign Minister of Armenia Edward Nalbandian stated in response to the statements of the representative of Azerbaijani delegation on the Karabakh conflict settlement in Chisinau.
"Security in our region continues to be threatened by the constant threats of Azerbaijan to use force to resolve Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. Previous April, Azerbaijan used large-scale military aggression against Artsakh, which was accompanied by a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law, barbarity against the elderly, women and children, mockery over the bodies of the deceased, and the beheading of people in the handwriting of the DPAH. In addition, on 4 July, the Azerbaijani leadership again, using the methods of notorious terrorist organizations, as well as before, used its own people as a human shield to fire Karabakh positions from the Turkish multiple rocket fire systems TR-107. In response, the NKR Defense Army was forced to defend itself and respond to the aggressive actions of the Azerbaijani side, "Nalbandian said.
At the same time, he stressed that as long as Azerbaijan does not comply with international obligations under the ceasefire agreements of 1994-95, refuses to comply with the Vienna and St. Petersburg agreements, especially regarding the establishment of mechanisms for investigating incidents in the front line, which can act as a preventive mechanism, the leadership of Azerbaijan is responsible for the consequences of their own provocations.
