In response to "Lurer"'s question, given that the Azerbaijani aggression in Artsakh is accompanied by targeting civilians and infrastructure, what options are being worked out in this situation? Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that the parties should be loyal to Moscow agreement, which states an immediate ceasefire, the exchange of the bodies of the victims and the captives.
According to him, "we should also pursue the resumption of talks through the mediation of the Co-Chairs". To the question whether there are conditions for a humanitarian ceasefire at the moment, the RA Minister of Foreign Affairs Zohrab Mnatsakanyan answered that they have not reached that level yet to start the humanitarian work mediated by the Red Cross. According to Mnatsakanyan, consultations are being held in that direction with the active participation of the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs.
"If we fail to reach a humanitarian ceasefire, it will continue to have a negative impact on other issues, so maintaining the ceasefire is a challenge for us. If there are accusations against Armenia or Nagorno Karabakh, we have always talked about it - we need to introduce investigation mechanisms. It was not the Armenian parties that refused to introduce this mechanism, but Azerbaijan", Mnatsakanyan stressed.
Lavrov said that the Moscow agreement clearly states that the mechanisms for monitoring the ceasefire regime will be further developed. "The process of introducing these mechanisms should not be delayed, the bodies of the victims should be returned to the relatives", Lavrov said.
