The MFA of the Artsakh Republic has issued a statement on the violation of the humanitarian ceasefire by Azerbaijan.
"We strongly condemn the violation of the ceasefire agreements reached through the mediation of the RF on the exchange of casualties and prisoners of war for humanitarian purposes.
Particularly outrageous is the fact that the ally trio of Azerbaijan, Turkey and international terrorists launched an attack immediately after the Defense Army of Artsakh Republic stated of cessation of fire within the framework of the humanitarian ceasefire. By its actions, Azerbaijan once again proved that it is an exiled state that does not fulfill its obligations even for 5 minutes.
Today's treacherous attack convincingly proves that Azerbaijan views the negotiations solely as a cover to prepare for military actions.
In the current situation, the international community can stop that offcast state only by recognizing the Artsakh Republic which will provide the necessary legal mechanisms to guarantee peace and security for our republic and the entire region", the statement reads.
