"The violation of ceasefire is normal, because there are thousands of
armed personnel on both sides of the border. But it should not grow
to large-scale standoff," Serge Sarkisian, Armenian Defence Minister
told journalists.

He said that Azerbaijani Defence Minister is for maintaining of
ceasefire regime in the region. Sarkisian also noted the meeting with
his Azerbaijani colleague was organized by co-chairs.

The minister said that they had talks on the maintaining of ceasefire
only and did not touch upon the settlement of Nagorno Karabakh
conflict.

In response to the question "who will sign the peace agreement?"
Sarkisian said that it is in the president’s competence.

Asked whether he would make a president, the minister answered that
he will think about it if journalists help the people to hold free
and fair parliamentary elections.
