Sargsyan: ceasefire violation by Azerbaijan not accidental

PanARMENIAN.Net - Attack of NKR positions was planned, RA Prime Minister and President-elect Serzh Sargsyan said.



"I am confident that the violation of ceasefire was not accidental. It was planned and the Azeri supreme leadership knew about it," he said. "The Azerbaijani Foreign Minister was aware that his troops advanced but refused to recall them even after a conversation with OSCE CiO Personal Representative Andrzej Kasprzyk."



"Our military honorably discharged their duty to the Homeland," the PM resumed, Novosti Armenia reports.



On March 4 early morning Azeri special forces attacked a position of the NKR Defense Army near Levonarkh settlement of Mardakert region. The attack was rebuffed and status quo restored. A crisis monitoring due on March 7 by request of the NKR MFA was postponed through Azerbaijan's fault.
