The Armenian Ministry of Defense has offered deep condolences to the families of two Armenian soldiers Vahe Vanoyan and Mikael Torosyan killed as a result of ceasefire violation by the Azerbaijani side last night.
The Defense Ministry said in a statement it strongly condemns this “act of terrorist nature.” “Aware that these actions will not go unpunished and the guilty will be held accountable, the military-political leadership in Azerbaijan once again chose escalate the situation,” the Ministry said.
“At the same time, we draw attention to the fact that the steps targeted at destabilizing the situation in at the line of contact intensify day by day after the completion of electoral processes and Azerbaijan and the visit of the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs to the region. This is an evidence of the non-constructive stance of Azerbaijani leadership on the settlement of the Karabakh conflict and violation of the norms of international law.”
