NKR DM REFUTES AZERI REPORTS ON VIOLATION OF CEASE FIRE

YEREVAN, MARCH 16. ARMINFO. NKR Defence Ministry refutes pointblank
the Azeri media report that there has been an exchange of fire near
Agdam.

This is misinformation and an attempt to charge Nagorny Karabakh
republic with violating the cease fire regime. But it was Azerbaijan
who was responsible for the Mar 7 and Mar 9 incidents on the NKR-Azeri
contact line. The NKR DM also refutes the TURAN report of a Tuesday
skirmish also near Agdam.

Press Secretary of Armenia’s Defence Minister Seyran Shahsuvaryan says
that there was no exchange of fire on the contact line of Ijevan
(Armenia) and Gazakh (Azerbaijan) Mar evening – as reported by
Day.az. There was no fire on either Armenian or Azeri sides. This is
one more provocation, he says noting that Azerbaijan does not miss a
chance to remind of the section and to allege some skirmishes.

“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
