YEREVAN. Feb 6 (Interfax) - Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbaldyan informed the co-chairs of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) Minsk Group at a meeting in Munich that Azerbaijan frequently breaches the ceasefire along the line of contact between the Armenian and Azeri Armed Forces in Nagorno-Karabakh, an Armenian Foreign Ministry spokesman told Interfax.
"The authorities of Azerbaijan grossly defy the international community's calls, while their adventurist policy and provocative actions only serve to further escalate the situation and hamper the peaceful settlement process," Nalbandyan said.
In recent weeks, Azerbaijan has breached the ceasefire more than 3,000 times, "leading to casualties, including among the civilian population," the Armenian minister said.
However, Yerevan will continue to work together with the OSCE Minsk Group to secure an exclusively peaceful solution to the conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh, he said.
On January 27, the OSCE called on Azerbaijan and Armenia to demonstrate restraint to prevent further escalation and reiterated the importance of measures that could help prevent possible incidents between the two countries.
