Serzh Sarkissyan: "Ceasefire violation by Azerbaijan was not at random"

12 March 2008 [18:36] - TODAY.AZ
Azerbaijan's attack on Karabakh positions has been planned in advance.

The due announcement was made by Serzh Sarkissyan, newly elected president and working Prime Minister of Armenia during the meeting with students.

"I am sure that the violation of ceasefire by Azerbaijan was not at random, however, it is hard to state its connection with the internal political situation in Armenia", Sarkissyan noted.

According to him, the attack has been planned in advance and the supreme command of Azerbaijan was informed about it. He said this is proven by the fact that Azerbaijan's Defense Minister, with whom he held talks via the personal representative of OSCE chairman-in-office Andjey Kaspshik, refused to withdraw his armed forces.

"He knew that his armed forces have been re-dislocated, which is proven by his refusal to withdraw his powers", Sarkissyan said.

He noted that time will show who and how the attack was planned. "Respect to our servicemen, who managed to prove who is who without a single victim", Sarkissyan noted.
