Shavarsh Kocharyan: Military exercises characterizes Azerbaijan’s attitude toward the negotiations

YEREVAN, APRIL 20, ARMENPRESS: The conduction of military exercises characterizes Azerbaijan’s attitude toward the negotiations, deputy foreign minister Shavarsh Kocharyan told Armenpress, adding that every time when a smoggy opportunity is created for moving forward in the negotiations Azerbaijan goes to provocations.

“These exercises were addressed more to their own people, they were of propaganda nature. They were stating about massive drillings but the Nagorno Karabakh Republic’s Defense Army followed them. Everything was under control starting from flights till the last moment”, Shavarsh Kocharyan said.

He described the step as an expression of panic moods. “Now they are facing an issue, according to which they must end the propaganda and go to concrete arrangements, like, for instance, investigation of incidents”, the deputy minister said.

The Azerbaijani air forces implemented flights of 4 assault aircrafts and 9 helicopters, 10-15km from the Karabakhi-Azerbaijani border.
