Isnt that was fair bit of popular anger here all fingers pointing out. Theres also very little faith in this renewed ceasefire that was announced on sunday people here obviously saying that they could not trust the armenian side to hold their part of the deal even though i feel theres a bit of confusion over what exactly that humanitarian ceasefire is about people here think that its about an end therefore still a tease when in fact its really about bringing some. Calm period enough to swap bodies and did. Is now the moment we dont know where that is heading we just heard from their budget and he said that they are ready to return some bodies to armenia through this prearranged cory door. As a budget and said that it has informed the International Red cross about it but this statement did not say anything about do soldiers definitely. On the battlefield specially in the areas in the occupied regions around no go no care about the Azerbaijani Army is pushing forward it has Popular Support there is a feel that as they are by gen at the moment because of the do every tory again has the upper hand and you have a lot of people here who do support that many would tell you actually that maybe a ceasefire is not what should happen now and that the army should keep on pressing or going to smith is in his couple of year of army has moved. The armenians say theyve been pushing for several days now to get this humanitarian ceasefire agreed on and its taken 2 weeks to get this far it was russia that got the 2 sides to agree to a humanitarian cease fire to the handover the bodies of killed soldiers and the Exchange Prisoners of war and Wounded Soldiers it was never quiet enough along the goal line of contact never peaceful enough for them to be able to for both sides to be able to agree to do this there was an attempt last week on one local attempt to do it on one part of the line of contact but even that failed after a few hours because firing started again so this decision by the air is to hand over the dead bodies of the armenians had already earlier on agreed to some sort of handover of bodies and prisoners of war is a step forward armenia needs the cease fire to carry on its suffered now 675 armenian Ethnic Armenian fighters have been killed in the fighting and armenia has lost control of territory it has held since the end of the war in 1994 this territory between nagornokarabakh karabakh in azerbaijan is considered the security or buffer zone that the armenians say thats what it is to protect nagornokarabakh for the last 26 plus years theyre supposed to be discussing the status of this territory plus nagornokarabakh with. Nothings happened in that time has wires about john says it is now moving militarily with the support of turkey to take some of this territory. Well i mean his Deputy Foreign minister of the republic of china which is the medium name of nagornokarabakh and she says there was hope the 2nd ceasefire would hold and maintains that armenia instapundit are committed to the peace process. But as a when it started offensive on the 27th of september also said that i mean your was the one launching but everyone knows that it is not in armenia. Or in our socks interest to launch anything because as you can see the war is going on on our territory and it is our people that are suffering from this mostly so its in our best interest to stop the war for the car of armenians this is a mosque that we want to secure our civilians to ensure their safety because for the last days there were about 31 casualties among the civilians there certainly one that and more than 100 people were injured but so. You know we have no reason to come to peace there needs to be of political will from all sides of the conflict for armenia and they have openly stated that they are ready to solve this issue exclusively by peaceful means and they both agree to introducing a mechanism investigate investigative mechanisms that would allow to say who has violated the cease fire it was as though by john that does not agree with the introduction of this mechanism and does not agree to it today so it is obvious that both armenian sides want peace and are ready to sit at the table of negotiations to discuss the possibility of peace but for this we need those mechanisms to exclude the use of force or the strengths of the use of force.
