Armenian Defense Minister, Serg Sarkisyan considers that his
Azerbaijani counterpart also advocates keeping the cease fire regime.

"He doesn’t want to break the cease fire regime", Mr. Sarkisyan told
journalists on Wednesday, commenting the recent meeting between the
Azerbaijani and Armenian Defence Ministers.

"Simply, we should realize that thousands of armed people stay on
each side, and sometimes shots are fired. It is important that these
shots would not become deliberate and not to take the form of large
incidents", pointed out the Armenian Defence Minister.

The meeting between Armenian Defence Minister Serg Sarkisyan and his
Azerbaijani counterpart was held on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border
on October 20. The two Ministers discussed issues that are of a great
interest for both parties, particularly an issue on keeping the cease
fire regime, Trend reports referring to News-Armenia.
