Azerbaijan's regular ceasefire violations on the line of contact demonstrate that Baku is not ready for peace talks. Furthermore, it does its best to torpedo the peace process, Eduard Sharmazanov, Vice Speaker of the Armenian Parliament, representative of the ruling Republican Party of Armenia Faction, told ArmInfo when commenting on the recent cases of ceasefire violation near Tavush region that wounded 2 soldiers.
Sharmazanov qualified Azerbaijan's actions as a walkout in protest against the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs. "The statements made during the recent meeting of Elmar Mammadyarov and Ahmet Davutoglu in Baku were a dig at the co-chairs. Instead of that, Azerbaijan should have implemented its commitments", said Sharmazanov.
He added that Armenia wants no military settlement of the Karabakh problem, because such a scenario is not only fraught with huge losses for both sides, but it is also incapable to resolve the conflict in the long-term outlook. "Azerbaijan should put aside all its illusions and hold constructive talks", he said.
