Nothing strange is happening. The Azerbaijani side is true to its ways and carries out the same policy, there is no reason for panic, David Babayan – spokesman for president of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic – told Panorama.am when commenting on the recent acts of Azerbaijani troops.

“Nothing has changed. Azerbaijan continues its destructive policy,” D. Babayan said.

“I believe that OSCE Minsk Co-chairs should react quite toughly to that incident. Azerbaijan should understand at last that such behavior has no prospects,” Babayan noted.

When asked if a tough statement by the OSCE Minsk Group Co-chairs will “put Baku in its place”, Babayan replied: “Azerbaijan will be put in its place first of all by the Armenian army. But I think a harsh statement by the OSCE Minsk Group Co-chairs will also have a sobering effect”. 

He stressed again that the Armenian army gives a proportional response.

As regards the question of whether any information is available about Azerbaijani casualties, the NKR presidential spokesman said: “No incident goes without a response. They suffered many losses, and this always happens. Besides, a panic situation has emerged there in several directions ”.
