During the meeting Deputy Foreign Minister Sharavsh Kocharyan expressed to the Ambassador the deep bewilderment of the Armenian side regarding some provisions reflected in the statement of the MFA of the Republic of Belarus on the developments around Nagorno-Karabakh, released on April 2, 2016.

Azerbaijan reported that in result of attacks 12 Azerbaijani soldiers and more than 100 Nagorno-Karabakh servicemen were killed. Nagorno-Karabakh noted that there were at least 200 dead from the Azerbaijani side. Yerevan reported that 18 people were killed from the Armenian side.
The parties admitted civilian casualties.
Nagorno-Karabakh, mainly populated by Armenians, declared independence from Azerbaijan in 1991. This led to an armed conflict, where Azerbaijan lost control over the territory and about 30 thousand people were killed.
