    ARMENIA WILL 'NEUTRALIZE AZERBAIJANI SNIPERS THROUGH MILITARY MEASURES:' DEFENSE MINISTRY

    Tert.am
    15.10.10

    Armenia's Defense Ministry has issued a statement over the killing
    of an Armenian soldier by an Azerbaijani sniper late on Thursday.

    "The Defense Ministry of the Republic of Armenia strongly
    condemns Azerbaijan's adventures to exacerbate the situation on
    the Armenian-Azerbaijani contact line by the use of snipers," reads
    the statement.

    It comes after Vitaly Ashot Igityan, 22, a temporary soldier at the
    military unit N38401, was around 7 p.m. on 14 October killed by an
    Azerbaijani sniper at an outpost deployed in the south-eastern part
    of the contact line between Nagorno Karabakh and Azerbaijan.

    Further the statement says that by such actions shortly after the
    OSCE Field Assessment Mission in the territories surrounding Nagorno
    Karabakh "Azerbaijan proves that not only it does not follow UN
    Secretary General Ban Ki-moon's calls to remove the snipers from the
    contact line, but also ignores the concerns of the OSCE Minsk Group
    chairman-in-office and the OSCE co-chairs over the deaths caused by
    Azerbaijani snipers."

    With those acts Baku also attempts to hinder the efforts by the
    international community, aimed at the peaceful settlement of Nagorno
    Karabakh conflict.

    "The Defense Ministry of the Republic of Armenia announces that
    military-diplomatic and relevant military measure to neutralize the
    activities of the Azerbaijani snipers on the Armenian-Azerbaijani
    line of contact," read the statement.

    Further the Defense Ministry said it conveyed its deepest condolences
    to the relatives of Vitali Igityan.
