ArmInfo. The press-service of the Nagorno-Karabakh Foreign Ministry has
made the following statement:
"According to the Nagorno-Karabakh Defense Ministry, March 13 night the
Azerbaijani party again violated the cease-fire regime in the
south-eastern direction of the Nagorno-Karabakh and Azerbaijani armed
forces contact line; as a result, an NKR serviceman on combat alert
duty was killed by a sniping fire".
The statement says that the incident took place the next day after the
monitoring of the NKR and Azeri armed forces contact line by the Office
of Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office Andrzej
Kasprzyk in the same place. The given incident, which caused a human
death, took place against the background of the fact that the mediators
and the Office of Kasprzyk fail to publicly assess the cease- fire
violation held by Azerbaijan even during monitorings.
The statement says that the lack of political assessment of such
actions stressed by official Stepanakert for several times only lets
off the leash of the aggressive party which thinks it inexpedient even
to consider the proposal of foreign ministries of three OSCE Minsk
Group co-chair countries about withdrawal of snipers from the front
positions as measures of confidence of consolidation. The proposal was
published at the sitting of OSCE Council of Foreign Ministers in
Helsinki on 4 December 2008.
