ArmInfo. "In fact, there were many cases of violation of cease-fire
regime since early, 2008. However, it has been a week the situation
normalized enough", RA Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan told journalists
yesterday.

"I tried to establish a contact with Azerbaijani authorities through
ICRC and Personal Representative of OSCE Chair-in-Office, Ambassador
Andrzej Kasprzyk to stop the violations. I also gave an instruction not
to open a return fire as not increase the tension on the contact line",
S. Ohanyan said. Asked about possibility of recovering the telephone
communication with the enemy on the contact line, the minister said
that the communication is still available on some sections. "Of course,
the communication could be recovered over the whole contact line if the
Azerbaijani party wished it", S.
Ohanyan said.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
