“The agreement to cease the fights largely holds despite different violations,” Artsakh President Bako Sahakyan said on April 7 at a press conference in Stepanakert.

According to him, the operation designed by Azerbaijan failed due to the Armed Forces of Artsakh Republic, its servicemen, commander staff, volunteers joined their Armenian brothers on call of their ancestry.

“It is thanks to their actions we halted Azerbaijani large scals military operations,” Sahakyan said, emphasizing that some measures are still underway.

“If Azerbaijan tries to violate the ceasefire, the next necessary counterattack will follow and this will be the basis for our strategy. No other approach should be adopted toward an adversary which disrespects the agreement with the conflicting side,” Sahakyan said, adding they remain committed to the option of the peaceful settlement.
