STEPANAKERT, APRIL 12, ARTSAKHPRESS-ARMENPRESS:Germany highlights respecting the armistice on Karabakh-Azerbaijan contact line and resumption of peace talks. Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Federal Republic of Germany to the Republic of Armenia Matthias Kiesler announced about this on April 12. To the question if the international community, including Germany, foster escalation of the conflict and bloodshed by putting a sign of parity between the sides, Matthias Kiesler mentioned, “Naturally, I reported on the developments of the situation to Berlin, and it was my main working duty during the last week. Starting military operations is undoubtedly a step back from the peace talks. This is the reason the Foreign Minister of Germany Steinmeier immediately called the Foreign Ministers of the two countries, urging to preserve the ceasefire. We must look forward and it is of key importance for us that the ceasefire is preserved by both sides”.
