YEREVAN, APRIL 6, ARMENPRESS. The ceasefire agreement has been reached in Moscow on April 5, during the meeting of the Chief of General Staff of Armed Forces of Armenia and Chief of General Staff of Armed Forces of Azerbaijan. This was announced by Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan at the Cabinet meeting.

“The Chiefs of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Armenia and Azerbaijan met yesterday in Moscow and reached a ceasefire agreement. The Azerbaijani actions were unprecedented not only after the 1994 ceasefire, but also in general comparing with the Nagorno Karabakh war. This was connected primarily with the military point of view, the density of fire along the contact line, the number of forces and means involved, the approach of their forces to the frontline, and the great number of their casualties.

Primarily due to the unprecedented military point of view, the density of the fire along the Line of Contact, used military equipment, the number of forces and means involved, the first line of approach in their armed forces, as well as a comparison of the great number of their casualties. The number of enemy losses compared with losses of the Defense Army is very large, more than ten times, "Armenpress” reports Ohanyan saying.

According to him, the level of Azerbaijan’s preparedness was also unprecedented, the presence of merceneries and terrorists among the Azerbaijani armed forces. “Although they are stating as if they were responding to our actions, the nature of the aggression is clear, this was a premeditated and not proportionate step.

The number of Azerbaijani casualties and equipment losses on the territory of Nagorno Karabakh is also unprecedented. From a humanitarian point of view the presence of war crimes is also obvious – decapitations, vandalizing of corpses, mutilations done by Azerbaijan”, Ohanyan said.

The defense minister said that during these days the social mobilization of the country became obvious, revival of voluntary movement, and there is a high moral and psychological atmosphere in the two Armenian states. The Minister stressed the heroism of soldiers and volunteers, as a result of which Azerbaijan has not achieved anything, even in strategic terms. "The information that several areas are under the control of the enemy, is false”, the minister said, adding that the whole nation should bow to the heroism of our soldiers, officers and the volunteers.

Prime Minister Hovik Abrahamyan said that this aggression by Azerbaijan once again proved the unification of Armenia, Artsakh and the Diaspora.
