“We are committed to the ceasefire regime on the line of contact and take the basis of a peaceful path to settle the crisis,” Gadzhiev said.
He said that the withdrawal of the Armenian Armed Forces from occupied Azerbaijani territory was needed in order to continue negotiations.
Azerbaijan and Armenia agreed on an immediate ceasefire on Tuesday, after almost four days of intense fighting in the self-proclaimed Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR) with a predominantly Armenian population. The parties have since accused each other of multiple ceasefire violations.
The spokesman accused Armenia of undermining the ceasefire, noting that Armenia has been announcing casualty numbers while claiming violations of the ceasefire by the Azerbaijani side.
The conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh began in 1988, when the Armenian-dominated autonomous region sought to secede from the Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic, before proclaiming independence after the Soviet Union's collapse in 1991. In September 2015, the conflict escalated, with the sides blaming each other for violating the truce.
