    The "Foreign Ministry" of separatist "NKR" has released a statement
    due to the incident on the contact line of the formations of "Nagorno
    Karabakh" and the armed forces of Azerbaijan.

    According to sources from the Karabakh Foreign Ministry, in the result
    of measures, taken by the servicemen of the defense army of "NKR" the
    group was pushed to the initial positions, having losses (one soldier).

    The document says that the said fact was presented to the OSCE
    Minsk Group co-chairs and personal representative of the OSCE
    chairman-in-office.

    The Foreign Ministry made a proposal to hold a crisis monitoring on
    the said section of the contact line of the armed forces of "NKR"
    and Armenia.

    The separatist ministry noted that the said attempt was taken by the
    Azerbaijan side in the days of the visit of OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs
    and personal representative of the OSCE chairman-in-office in "Nagorno
    Karabakh Republic", as well as following the recently signed Moscow
    declaration, fixing readiness of the sides to promote establishment
    of environment of stability and security in the region by way of the
    political resolution of the Karabakh conflict.

    Noting that this is not the first attempt of the diversion groups
    of the armed forces of Azerbaijan to the front lines of the armed
    forces of "NKR" this year, the separatist "Foreign Ministry" reminds
    that the Karabakh leadership has repeatedly drawn attention of the
    mediators to the need for the immediate measures of world community
    on strengthening regime of ceasefire in the area of Nagorno Karabakh
    conflict and provision of of peace.

    "Considering the destructive steps of official Baku, which,
    unfortunately, did not receive the due political assessment from the
    side of international mediators, the ministry puts responsibility for
    the possible escalation of tensions on the contact front line to the
    Azerbaijani leadership", says the statement.

    The due note, fixing the official visit of the "NKR" powers on the
    said issue has been sent to the OSCE chairman-in-office and personal
    representative of the OSCE chairman-in-office", says the document.

    "On the night of November 16, at about 4:00 am, a special division
    of Azerbaijani armed forces trespassed a contact line of the armed
    forces of "Nagorno Karabakh" and Azerbaijan in the southeastern
    direction, attempting to penetrate into the base of the "NKR" defense
    army, serving on the positions not far from the Ashaghi Seidahmedli
    settlement", said spokesman for the "Defense Ministry" of the so-called
    "NKR".

    The source reported that the servicemen of "NKR" resisted the enemy,
    pushing it back to the initial positions.

    "The Azerbaijani side had one loss, while Karabakh did not have any
    loss", says the statement.

    According to the press service, this is the next serious incident
    following the attack of the Azerbaijani diversion group on the night
    of March 4 of 2008 on the position of the Karabakh army near Levonarkh
    village of Martakert region of "NKR".

    "The Defense Ministry" of Nagorno Karabakh pays a special attention
    to the fact that Azerbaijani side violated ceasefire at the moment,
    when OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs were visiting Khankendi".
