    Baku, March 10, AssA-Irada
    Armenia blames the recent violations of ceasefire on the frontline
    on Azeri officials' tough statements, which included warnings that
    the country may resort to military action to solve over a decade-long
    dispute over Upper (Nagorno) Garabagh.

    Armenian deputy defense minister Artur Agabekian maintained that the
    national army soldiers being inspired by President Ilham Aliyev's
    statements have been allegedly subjecting Armenians to intense
    shooting.

    "The reasons for ceasefire breaches by Azeri military men is official
    Baku's statements," he said, claiming that this disrupts the "relative
    stability" observed before.

    The Armenian official recalled that since a ceasefire was reached in1
    1994, it has been repeatedly infringed upon on the frontline and this
    mainly happens when the sides "alter their positions".

    Agabekian said the sides [troops] "have drawn closer to each other"
    in the past years, and as a result, any mistake leads to human
    casualties. He also noted that the war has claimed lives.

    "Every Armenian soldier knows that he should always be prepared for
    military action," Agabekian added.
