[Presenter] The special envoy of the OSCE chairman-in-office, Andrzej
Kasprzyk, has arrived in Yerevan to discuss the latest truce violations
on the front line with the Armenian Defence Ministry and the general
staff of the armed forces. Kasprzyk plans to meet Armenian Foreign
Minister Vardan Oskanyan. They will schedule a meeting between the
Azerbaijani and Armenian foreign ministers.
[Correspondent] The special envoy of the OSCE chairman-in-office,
Andrzej Kasprzyk, visited Tbilisi this morning and has already arrived
in Yerevan.
[Passage omitted: similar ideas]
[Kasprzyk speaking to journalists] I have always done my best to
prevent the situation from deteriorating. I take special steps when the
situation escalates. I learned from the media that the cease-fire was
severely violated. I visited the Azerbaijani Defence Ministry to learn
about the situation. I am now going to Yerevan to discuss this issue.
[Correspondent] Kasprzyk said that the countries guaranteeing the
cease-fire regime should be politically interested in maintaining it.
Every time the cease-fire is violated, he should use his mandate and
inform the OSCE chairman and the co-chairs of the Minsk Group.
The latest monitoring on the Azerbaijani-Armenian front line was
carried out four days ago on 7 March. Approximately five kilometres
away from the area of the monitoring, from 1230 to 1500 [0830 to
1100 gmt], using machine guns and grenade launchers, the Armenian
troops fired at the Azerbaijani positions near the village of Qapali
in Tartar District. The shots were fired from the occupied village
of Seyidsulan in Agdara District.
It is interesting that Kasprzyk learned about the truce violation
that was taking place during the monitoring only from the media.
