MFA: Armenia violates ceasefire for third time

The press service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Azerbaijan issued a statement.

According to Report, the statement says:

In a gross violation of the new humanitarian ceasefire, on October 26 at 08.05 am, the armed forces of Armenia subjected to artillery fire the units of the Azerbaijan Army located in the Safiyan village of Lachin region.

Later, the city of Tartar and the Tartar region villages were under intensive shelling by the armed forces of Armenia.

Another, third time in a row ceasefire regime is blatantly ignored and violated by Armenia; 10 October Moscow joint statement, October 18 reaffirmed commitments by the mediation efforts of Paris and October 24 meeting in Washington an agreement on implementing the immediate humanitarian ceasefire. It is yet another demonstration of willful ignorance by Armenia of its commitments and open disrespect to international mediators' tireless endeavors. As the Prime Minister of Armenia declares it, this country does not see a diplomatic solution to the conflict. The ultimate goal is to continue the military occupation of the Azerbaijani territories.

Azerbaijan is committed to its agreements and showing respect to the agreed humanitarian truce.

All responsibility for violation of the ceasefire and continued escalation in the region lies with Armenia's political-military leadership.
