Yerevan/Mediamax/. Permanent Representative of Armenia to UN, Ambassador Zohrab Mnatsakanyan said that Armenia fully supports the agreement reached in Kazan in 2011.

He said this during the discussions of “Use of System-Wide Approach to Conflict Prevention” resolution at UN Security Council.

 

The Ambassador stressed the importance of prevention of a resumption of conflict in situations when the final resolution remained pending.

 

“In the past weeks, an alarming escalation of tension and considerable increase of ceasefire violations across the Armenian-Azerbaijani border, as well as attempted incursions and subversive operations of Azerbaijan army units had occurred”, said Zohrab Mnatsakanyan.

 

He stressed that lessons had to be taken from those developments on the conflict zone.

 

“Armenia had no interest in war, but a willingness to fight for peace”, said Armenia’s Permanent Representative to UN.

 

He also noted that confidence-building measures were necessary, meaning “strict adherence to the 1994 and 1995 ceasefire agreements, as well as other credible measures, which must be implemented as soon as possible”.
