Azerbaijan keeps staging provocations before and after presidential meetings

Yet another time, Azerbaijan stayed true to itself, violating the
ceasefire several hours before the Armenia-Azerbaijan- Russia
presidential meeting in Sochi. The provocation resulted in a death of
a serviceman Grigor Shakhkyan (born in 1991).
This has been the second frontier incident in 2 days, provoked by the
Azerbaijani side. On March 3, serviceman Hovhannes Avdalyan was
wounded in Azeri firing of Karabakh's positions.
Baku seems to be unwilling to violate the traditions it established,
staging provocations on the line of contact before or after every
presidential meeting.
A major incident at the conflicting parties' contact line was recorded
immediately after a trilateral meeting of the Armenian, Azerbaijani
and Russian Presidents. On June 18, an Azerbaijani armed
reconnaissance team penetrated into Artsakh territory. To disarm the
group consisting of twenty soldiers, a unit of the NKR army undertook
measures, as a result of which the Azerbaijani group suffered losses
and retreated. 5 Armenian servicemen died as a result.
Azerbaijani side must be `given credit' for persistence in violating
ceasefire on `usual' days, using large-caliber weapon along with
different types of small arms.
Apparently, mediators, superpowers and even the whole international
community are no authority for Azerbaijan. What is it Baku tries to
achieve through provocations? Medvedev might need to ask Aliyev about
it on March 5 in Sochi.
