/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Baku’s statements on ceasefire violations are
nothing but an attempt to show that the Nagorno Karabakh conflict
is not ‘frozen’ but ‘burning’, the Armenian NA Vice Speaker, Vahan
Hovhannisian said.

"I do not rule out that Baku paints a background for a real aggravation
of the situation. I have recently been to Tigranakert (Aghdam region),
which is situated near the frontline. I heard no firing there. The
ceasefire is maintained," he said.

When commenting on the possibility of resumption of hostilities in
the context of Azeri leadership’s militant statements, Mr Hovhannisian
said, "The tone of the Azeri leaders is influenced by the petrodollar
factor. Apparently, they do no understand that any aggression will
result in a sudden cut of this flow, since the oil facilities will
be the first targets if Azerbaijan wages war. Azeris had better
think before drying up the source that feeds them," he said, IA
