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.
