EFA President responds to Azerbaijani attack to NK helicopter

EFA President responds to Azerbaijani attack to NK helicopter

YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 20, ARMENPRESS: EFA President François Alfonsi, felt the need to send a letter of support to the Karabakhi people, after hearing the news on the Azerbaijani government violating the ceasefire and shooting down a helicopter, killing three members of the crew. In the letter, Alfonsi states that "This action is totally unacceptable. Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the innocent men that lost their lives, and we severely condemn the Azerbaijani government for pursuing these kind of aggressions."

On this regard, he also calls the "European institutions to take action on the matter and to carefully analyse the question in order to clear the political responsibilities that led to this awful end." Mr Alfonsi also underlines in his message that "the fact that the Azerbaijani government decorated the officer that executed the order is intolerable, and we (EFA) believe that a change of attitude and strategy of the Azerbaijani government towards Nagorno-Karabakh is crucial."

Following this logic, he closes the letter by saying that the EFA will keep on monitoring the situation in the region and be an ally for the establishment of the needed democratic guarantees essential to build a long lasting peace.

Previously it was reported that in the airspace of the eastern sector of the Karabakh-Azerbaijani border, in the result of the violation of the ceasefire regime, the Azerbaijani Armed Forces shot a helicopter Mi-24 of the Air Forces of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic during a training flight on November 12 at 13:45. The place of the shot is very close to the line of contact. The press service of the Defense Army of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic informed Armenpress that the rival continues firing in the direction of the incident. The details of the incident are being investigated. Later it was announced from Stepanakert that by preliminary data there are three victims. The Commander of the staff was the Major Sergey Sahakyan.
