"There was nothing unusual in the recent fighting on the contact
front line. ceasefire is constantly violated".
The due announcement was made by famous conflict scientist Arif
Yunusov.
He noted that usually clashes intensify in spring, when both sides
strive to occupy these or those heights, process of redislocation of
positions or improvement of previous ones starts.
"Another issues is that the fighting was too long. The number of
casualties was too high, as heavy technique was applied from both
sides. It seems that Armenians tried to occupy the nearest heights
and attacked Azerbaijani armed forces, therefore, casualties from
our side were initially reported.
He said there is no exact information. "Both sides traditionally
accuse each other of ceasefire violation. Therefore it is necessary
to base on logics and common sense", the conflict scientist said.
He added that the fighting occurred when President of Azerbaijan
Ilham Aliyev was in that region. "Moreover, the fighting occurred
following well-known events in Armenia".
He said if Azerbaijan yields to Armenia’s provocations, especially
on the front line, the "Karabakh" dynasty will benefit from it.
