Andrzej Kasprzyk, the special representative of the OSCE
Chairman-in-Office, refuted several directions of the Azerbaijani
propaganda machine in an interview with the news agency Trend. In
particular, he mentioned that in the beginning of this year the
situation on the Armenian-Azerbaijani front line was tense, while in
May it became quiet. According to Kasprzyk, as a result of skirmishes
there were about 20 casualties from both parties.
If we compare this number with the figures the Azerbaijani
propaganda offers, we may suppose that Baku pursues certain aims
in presenting a higher number. Most probably, it wants to prove the
international community that Armenia is more aggressive than "defeated
Azerbaijanis". It is possible that on a convenient opportunity all
these facts will be used to station international forces in the region.
In fact, Kasprzyk refuted and added that the OSCE monitoring of the
front line helps to sustain the cease-fire. He also touched upon
the problem of fires and mentioned that the fires were not unusual,
they simply occurred too often. Kasprzyk said the Azerbaijani party
presented a good package of documents for this year. He mentioned
that the fires did not damage the settlements except Aghdam, where
the fire went farther than the border.
As for cooperation in this sphere, he did not receive any proposals
from the parties, Kasprzyk said. Maybe because it is a vacation time.
