    Azerbaijan's attack on Karabakh forces was preplanned -
    president-elect

    YEREVAN


    Armenian President-elect Serzh Sargsyan said that the attack of the
    Azerbaijani military on the positions of Nagorno Karabakh forces was
    preplanned.

    "The attack by Azerbaijan was not accidental, it was prepared in
    advance," he said at a Wednesday meeting with students.

    "The violation of the ceasefire by Azerbaijan was not an accident,
    but I find it hard to say now how it is connected with the political
    situation in Armenia," he said.

    Sargsyan expressed confidence that the Azerbaijani leadership had
    known about the planned attack. The fact that the Azerbaijani defense
    minister with whom talks were held through the personal
    representative of the OSCE chairman in office refused to recall
    servicemen serves to prove that, he said.

    According to Armenia, on the night of March 3 a subversive unit of
    the Azerbaijani Armed Forces, in violation of the ceasefire, attacked
    an outpost of the army of the self-proclaimed republic of Nagorno
    Karabakh near the village of Levonarkh and assumed temporary control
    over it but was thrown back to its old potions by counter action.

    The Foreign Ministry of Nagorno Karabakh insisted on monitoring by an
    OSCE mission. The monitoring was scheduled for March 7 but was
    conducted only on the Karabakh side, Yerevan indicates.
