Baku. Victoria Dementieva â€“ APA. â€œUnfortunately, Azerbaijani side suffers losses. We offer condolences to their families. It shows that Armenia doesnâ€™t observe the ceasefire and doesnâ€™t respect resolutions of the international organizationsâ€, chairman of Azerbaijani Parliamentâ€™s Committee on Legal Policy and State Building Ali Huseynli told journalists, APA reports.

Huseynli considers that the last incidents seriously damage the peaceful negotiations: â€œAzerbaijan always shows its loyalty to the peaceful negotiations. The meetings between the representatives of both communities were held just on the initiative of Azerbaijan. Azerbaijani MPs, officials didnâ€™t refuse to participate in the international events in Yerevan. We gave security guarantee to Armenia, but it didnâ€™t participate in Eurovision. The Armenian MPs, who participated in Baku-host session of the Euronest Parliamentary Assembly, saw that Azerbaijani people are patient and tolerantâ€.

The committee chairman said that Azerbaijan took all steps toward peace: â€œWe show our loyalty to all decisions and statements, especially the Declaration adopted at Sochi meeting. Azerbaijan demonstrates its respect to all adopted decisions. Thatâ€™s why it is absolutely impossible for us to violate the ceasefireâ€.

Huseynli said Azerbaijani soldier takes up arms to rebuff attacks against him: â€œEven despite the occupation of our lands, opening of fire on us, we still observe the ceasefire. All Azerbaijani community together with the relatives of killed soldiers experienced pain while hearing the death of our soldiers. It is difficult for Azerbaijan to speak about peace after every such incident. But evidently, Armenia doesnâ€™t want to leave its occupational policyâ€.

The committee chairman doesnâ€™t think that the military operations will start. â€œAs we have always been loyal to the ceasefire regime and hold peaceful negotiations, we will continue our policy in this direction. But, of course, we must rebuff the attacks and provocations of the opposite sideâ€.
