The defense ministers of Armenia and Azerbaijan reportedly discussed an apparent upsurge in ceasefire violations along the border between the two countries during a rare conversation on Friday.
Seyran Ohanian and Safar Abiyev briefly spoke to each other on the sidelines of a meeting in Brussels of top defense officials from countries participating in the NATO-led military mission in Afghanistan.
According to the Armenian Defense Ministry, Ohanian urged the Azerbaijani side to honor the ceasefire regime and thus minimize casualties on both sides.
The Azerbaijani military issued no official statements on the conversation. Instead, Azerbaijani news agencies claimed that Ohanian "asked for truce" because of "big losses" suffered by Armenian forces in recent days.
