Reference News Network reported on October 12 According to foreign media, Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov had a telephone conversation with Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Bairamov and Armenian Foreign Minister Mnatsa Kanyan at the 10th local time, confirming that the two countries will continue to comply with the ceasefire agreement. The Russian Foreign Ministry announced that the three foreign ministers have stressed the need to strictly respect the truce of the “ground”.
According to a report by RIA Novosti Moscow on October 10, the Asian and Afghan foreign ministers were invited by Russian President Putin to visit Moscow. On the 9th, the foreign ministers of Russia, Armenia and Azerbaijan held consultations in Moscow. The talks lasted more than 10 hours and were the longest foreign ministerial consultation held by the three countries in the last 20 years. After the negotiation, at noon on the 10th, the ceasefire agreement for the Nagorno-Karabakh (Naka) conflict entered into force to exchange prisoners and the remains of the dead. At this meeting, Baku and Yerevan agreed to discuss the details of the ceasefire. Additionally, the two parties confirmed that the trading format remains unchanged.
However, both sides accused each other of violating the ceasefire agreement on the same day.
A spokesman for the Armenian Defense Ministry later noted that on this day, the two sides basically abide by the ceasefire system, but “occasionally behave provocatively.”
However, according to Azerbaijani sources, the bombing of the runner-up on the 10th caused the death of civilians.
UN Secretary General Guterres reportedly called on Baku and Yerevan to abide by the ceasefire agreement and finalize details as soon as possible.
According to a satellite news agency that Baku reported on October 11, according to Azerbaijani sources, an attack in the city of Ganja resulted in 5 deaths and 28 injuries.
On the morning of the 11th, the Afghan Defense Ministry reportedly declared that Ganja, the country’s second-largest city, was attacked from Armenia. The Emergency Situations Ministry said a rocket hit a residential building.
The Press Office of the Attorney General’s Office said: “The rocket hit a multi-story residential building in the city of Ganja and killed 5 people and wounded 28.”
Shushan Stepanyan, press secretary for the Armenian Defense Ministry, refuted Azerbaijan’s claims that Ganja was attacked from Armenia. Stepanyan said: “This is fake news.”
Azerbaijan reportedly stated that on the morning of the 11th, the Armenian army launched a missile attack against the city of Mingechaur, which is located more than 60 miles from the disputed area of Naka. The air defense force successfully repelled the attack. There is a major power station in Mingechaur.
Furthermore, the website of Russian TV Today reported on October 10 that the Turkish Foreign Ministry declared that the ceasefire agreement reached by Russia in the disputed area of Naqa between Azerbaijan and Armenia cannot be considered a solution to the conflict.
The report noted that Ankara said on the 10th that under the mediation of Russia, a ceasefire in the disputed area of Naqqa is an “important first step”, but that it “will not replace a permanent solution.”
The Turkish Foreign Ministry statement also stated that Turkey “will continue to support Azerbaijan on the battlefield and at the negotiating table.”
According to the report, it is worth noting that Turkey did not demand a ceasefire between the two sides as the international community did, but rather encouraged Azerbaijan, saying it has the right to seek solutions to problems through force.
