Iran's Ambassador to Armenia Mohammad Raiesi is displeased with the situation in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict zone.
He said this when asked by journalists to comment on the shooting down of an Armenian helicopter by Azeris.
The Ambassador expressed hope that Armenia and Azerbaijan will continue their talks to settle the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict peacefully.
To remind, the Azeri armed forces downed an Armenian Mi-24 while it was conducting a training flight near the Line on Contact on 12 November. Three officers of the NKR Armed Forces, Sergey Sahakyan, Sargis Nazaryan and Azat Sahakyan, were on board. The NKR State Committee for POWs, Captives and the Missing has requested the ICRC assistance in returning the crewmembers of the downed helicopter. The Azeri officer that shot the helicopter down has been awarded a medal.
The Armenians are still unable to find out what has happened to the crew because the Azeris keep firing at the scene. Nor have they given any security guarantees to OSCE observers wishing to monitor the area.
