YEREVAN. March 20 (Interfax) - Armenia hopes that Azerbaijan will remain committed to the agreements reached between Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev in Dushanbe.
"We hope the parties to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict will remain committed to the agreements reached in Dushanbe. The recent border incident is not conducive to building an atmosphere of confidence and peace and a process of the peoples' preparations for peace," Armenian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Anna Naghdalyan said at a news briefing on Wednesday.
Senor Hasratyan, spokesman for the Defense Ministry of the unrecognized Nagorno-Karabakh republic, told journalists earlier that the Azerbaijani Armed Forces had fired upon the Karabakh Defense Army's positions with 60mm mortars in the Agdam theater of operations on March 15.
While meeting on the sidelines of a CIS summit in Dushanbe in September, Pashinyan and Aliyev agreed to take measures to relieve tension on the contact line between units of the Azerbaijani army and Nagorno-Karabakh troops, as well as on the state border between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
