Sharmazanov: Azerbaijan should give up its illusions

“Ceasefire violations by Azerbaijan have become more frequent recently. Comparison of the facts proves once again that Azerbaijan is not only unprepared for peace talks, but it is also doing everything to torpedo them,” the Armenian parliament’s vice speaker Edward Sharmazanov told the correspondent of Aysor.am.

In his words, Azerbaijan’s actions seriously damage the negotiating process and the efforts of the Co-Chair countries. “This is a demarche regarding the statements issued earlier by the presidents of the mediating states. Azerbaijan’s actions cause the mediating countries to take respective steps, otherwise the consequences may be irreversible,” Sharmazanov noted.

He added that the Armenian side does not want a military solution of the Karabakh problem. “All this is fraught with losses on both sides. Besides, a military path is not a resolution of the problem. Azerbaijan should give up it illusions and take a constructive position on the talks,” Sharmazanov said.
