YEREVAN, MAY 3, ARMENPRESS. ANM Board member Hovhannes Igityan says the negotiations on Nagorno Karabakh conflict peaceful settlement were ceased as a result of Azerbaijan. “All the documents, that were put on the negotiation table and over which the discussions were held, were aimed to establish peace. But today it is meaningless to speak about the package over which the parties should negotiate. Now we should think how to restrain Azerbaijan since it aims to solve the conflict with military means with the help of its international partners”, “Igityan stated.
He added that Azerbaijani not only violates the ceasefire regime but also the international norms, especially the principle of non-use of force against the civilian people.
Hovhannes Igityan thinks that Nagorno Karabakh should be the direct participant in the negotiation process if finally the negotiations restart. He referred also to the response by the international community stating that Russia which is the strategic partner of Armenia announces that it is concerned about the war situation. “I think that these statements should be addressed, meaning that they should be directed towards the part which violated the agreements. Today there are talks that the Minsk Group should receive a new mandate which is to install monitoring mandate in the line of contact. This will give an opportunity to investigate and reveal who really violated the ceasefire and unleashed aggressive measures. I think that this is very important”, Igityan concluded.
