The President of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), Pedro Agramunt, said that he is extremely worried at the reports of violence in Nagorno-Karabakh and deeply saddened at the loss of life.
He called on both sides to respect the ceasefire and swiftly resume negotiations towards a peaceful resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
"Armenia and Azerbaijan committed themselves, when joining the Council of Europe in 2001, to use only peaceful means for settling the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict," the PACE President noted.
Agramunt also welcomed the news of a unilateral ceasefire announced by Azerbaijan.
"The Armenian armed troops must withdraw from occupied Azerbaijani territories in compliance with the UN Security Council resolutions," Trend cited him as saying.
