Armenia rejected on Thursday Azerbaijan’s strong criticism of Foreign Minister Ara Ayvazian’s latest visit to Nagorno-Karabakh, saying that it did not run counter to the Russian-brokered ceasefire in the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict zone.
Ayvazian travelled to Stepanakert earlier this week for talks with Karabakh’s leaders. Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev condemned the trip as “provocative” in televised remarks aired on Thursday.
Aliyev said Armenian officials must stop visiting Karabakh without Baku’s permission. “Let them not forget about the war,” he said, according to the TASS news agency.

The parties to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict must respect the Russian-brokered agreement to stop the Armenian-Azerbaijani war and not try to change the status quo, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday.
“We agreed within the framework of the trilateral statement [issued by the leaders of Russia, Armenia and Azerbaijan on November 10] to stop hostilities,” Putin told a marathon news conference held outside Moscow. “And, what is very important, we agreed that the parties will stop at the positions where they were when our trilateral statement was signed.”
“Everybody must stop there,” he added, answering a question about whether Armenian forces should also withdraw from Karabakh in addition to surrounding districts recaptured by or handed over to Azerbaijan.
