Chilean lawmakers condemn Azerbaijan’s aggression against Karabakh
YEREVAN, May 20. /ARKA/. The Chamber of Deputies of Chile gave Wednesday its unanimous approval to a resolution that condemns the armed attack of Azerbaijan against the Nagorno Karabakh.

The Chilean lawmakers say that on the night of 1 to 2 of last April, ground forces and air of the Republic of Azerbaijan conducted a large-scale attack on the border with the Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh, with heavy artillery and last generation missiles and that aggression represented the most flagrant violation of the Ceasefire Agreement signed by both countries in May 1994 and a breach of UN rules on Pacific Settlement of Disputes.

The Chilean parliament reaffirmed its commitment to peace and urges the Republic of Azerbaijan for the immediate cessation of all acts of war against the Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh and the strict observance of the truce signed by both countries in 1994 and requested the Government of Chile to urge the parties to circumscribe the conflict settlement within the framework of the negotiations held in the Minsk Group, and thus avoiding a regional explosion with unpredictable consequences.

The resolution urges Azerbaijan to confirm its commitments to maintain peace, to stop military actions against Nagorno Karabakh and to respect the 1994 ceasefire regime. 

On April 2, 2016, Azerbaijan launched military assaults along the entire perimeter of its contact line with Nagorno Karabakh. Four days later a cease-fire was arranged. ---0---
