Azerbaijan is responsible for casualties on both sides of the contact line with Nagorno Karabakh (Artsakh), Armenia’s deputy parliament speaker Eduard Sharmazanov told colleagues in Slovakia.
Sharmazanov’s delegation, which includes lawmakers Gagik Melikyan and Vardan Bostanjyan, is currently in Slovakia for an interparliamentary meeting with Lukas Parizek,the State Secretary of the Slovak Foreign Ministry and European Affairs, as well as Dusan Tittel, the head of Slovakia-Armenia friendship group.
At the meeting, Sharmazanov detailed the Slovak officials on the situation along the Armenian-Azerbaijani border and the contact line between Karabakh and Azerbaijan.
The deputy speaker said that Azerbaijan’s provocations result in human losses, with Turkey too escalating the situation by keeping the border with Armenia shut.
Also, the sides discussed ways to combat terrorism worldwide, agreed to expand bilateral cooperation, and weighed in on issues currently on the Armenia-European Union agenda.
