Karabakh official slams EU envoy’s remarks on Azeri attack

PanARMENIAN.Net - Advisor to Nagorno-Karabakh State Minister, former State Minister Artak Beglaryan has slammed remarks from European Union Special Representative for the South Caucasus Toivo Klaar, after three police officers were killed by the Azerbaijani military.

Klaar said the the deadly incident “underscores the urgency of pushing forward with negotiations to achieve stability and fair peace.”

Beglaryan took to Twitter to express a growing mistrust and doubts about Klaar over the latter’s reactions to Azerbaijan’s crimes.

“He is either: Amateur diplomat, Under [Azerbaijan’s] brainwashing, Corrupt official, With deviated perceptions of European values, interests & human rights. All four options require changes,” Beglaryan said.

Three Karabakh police officers were killed and another wounded in an Azerbaijani armed attack on Sunday, March 5. They were ambushed by an Azerbaijani “sabotage squad” as they rode in a car outside Stepanakert.

Later in the day, the Armenia Foreign Ministry condemned Azerbaijan’s deadly shootings in Nagorno Karabakh (Artsakh) as an act of “terrorism” which it said was “preplanned and ordered by Azerbaijan’s supreme leadership.”
