The international community, in particular, OSCE Minsk Group, must have active mechanisms for maintaining the ceasefire regime in border settlements, head of Helsinki Citizens' Assembly Vanadzor Office, Arthur Sakunts told a Panorama.am reporter, commenting on Azerbaijani diversion attack on Armenian military posts near Chinari village today.

Sakunts said he would be present at a meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton at the U.S. Embassy in Yerevan today and thinks that “Mrs. Clinton should certainly be reported on ceasefire violations.”

Today Azerbaijan once again grossly violated the ceasefire, trying to break into Armenian military posts in the north-eastern region of the contact line near the villages of Berdavan and Chinari, Tavush region. Armenian forces repulsed the enemy offensive. As a result of Azerbaijan’s diversion attack, Armenian servicemen Hrach Sargsyan, Zohrab Balabekyan and Karen Davtyan were killed. Some soldiers were wounded.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will arrive in Armenia today. As part of her visit to Armenia, first of all, she will meet with civil society representatives and later will be received by Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan.
