Artsakh Urged Mediators to Refrain from Parity Rhetoric, Says Official

Artsakh’s presidential spokesman David Babayan

YEREVAN (Tert)””In an interview with Tert.am, a spokesperson for the president of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic commented on the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs’ recent visit to the South Caucasus and their meeting with officials in the second Armenian republic.

David Babayan said that the talks focused mainly on the current situation along the line of contact.

“That’s probably the most important and the most realistic point, as all the rest are a matter of future. The main emphasis was put on the possible mechanisms that could be elaborated and enforced to more effectively fix the violations; also, accountability mechanisms [were considered]. That means that the side responsible for violations must incur liability measures. [The mediators] at least have to state that some way or another instead of putting an equal sign by saying that both sides fire gunshots, violating the ceasefire,”
