Vice Speaker Sharmazanov attached importance to foreign MPs’ visits to Artsakh and noted: “They are another step towards the international recognition of the Artsakh Republic. Such visits make the democratic and independent Artsakh and the freedom-loving spirit of its people more recognizable”.

Eduard Sharmazanov strongly condemned the recent ceasefire violation by Azerbaijani forces, adding that this shows that Azerbaijan is not ready for constructive steps even after the Geneva meeting. He condemned the use of SPIKE antitank-guided missile by the Azerbaijani side in the line of contact which discloses Azerbaijan’s criminal essence. According to the Vice Speaker, the international structures should condemn the use of SPIKE by Azerbaijan.
