Negotiations should have taken place between the Azerbaijanis and us in order to reach an agreement. Narek Ghahramanyan, deputy of the ruling ‘Civil Contract’ faction of the National Assembly, gave details of the yesterday’s incident at the border in a conversation with journalists. The deputy emphasized that the commander of the special army corps was also there for the purpose of negotiations, but Azerbaijan provoked. The journalists asked why the Armenian servicemen did not shoot when the Azerbaijani vehicle approached our positions.
Narek Ghahramanyan (Deputy of Armenian Parliament’s ‘Civil Contract’ faction) - When the pickup truck approached, it wasn't like it approached shooting. Maybe they thought that those negotiators came, maybe they thought that they came on some other occasion. If you have seen the video, the distance between the positions is about 20 meters, and if they were going to shoot, you could always shoot from 20 meters.
