Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) deputy Garo Paylan has called for a ceasefire between Armenia and Azerbaijan after yesterday's (September 13) clashes where 99 soldiers from both sides were killed.
"I call on everyone to take responsibility for the continuation of the ceasefire declared in the morning," the Armenian politician tweeted yesterday.
Today, he posted another tweet about the conflict, saying that it only benefits Russia.
"As a result of the war two years ago, Russia has settled in Azerbaijan. And the only result of yesterday's clashes will be Russia's increased domination over Armenia.
"Those who have been warmongering since yesterday... Don't you ever think why the Russians always win while Azeris and Armenians die?"
What happened?
About two years after the Nagorno-Karabakh war, defense ministries of the two countries announced that border clashes erupted on September 13. Both countries blamed each other.
Armenia's PM Nikol Pashinyan said yesterday in the parliament that they had lost 49 soldiers and casualties might increase. Azerbaijan announced 50 deaths.
A ceasefire was declared at 8.30 a.m local time (GMT+4).
