The cease-fire reached in May, 1994, and also the measures have undertaken by the Azerbaijani side, have in fact caused simultaneous cessation of fire in the zone of conflict and terrorist activity of the Republic of Armenia in the rear regions of Azerbaijan.

The artificial retardation by Armenian side of the process of peaceful resolution of conflict, shows that in of deterioratingof tension the situation in the region the tactics of terrorism against peaceful population could be reclaimed by Republic of Armenia? as a component of State policy.
