PanARMENIAN.Net - Russia is concerned over escalated tensions on
the line of contact between Azerbaijani and Armenian troops, Russian
Foreign Ministry spokesman said.
"Russia considers further escalation unacceptable and will continue
assisting the parties to achieve peaceful settlement," Alexander
Lukashevich said.
"As an OSCE MG co-chair and Karabakh settlement mediator, Russia
urges the parties against the use of force," Lukashevich said.
He said Russia hopes that the meeting of foreign ministers of Armenia
and Azerbaijan in Paris will help relieve tensions.
As he noted, Russia calls on conflicting parties to adhere to Sochi
statement, which stresses the necessity of continuing peaceful talks
for Karabakh conflict settlement.
Sources say that 21-25 Azerbaijani soldiers were killed in Azeri
subversive actions in recent days in Tavush- Ghazakh zone of
Armenian-Azerbaijani border.
On June 5 night, attempt was made by Azerbaijani soldiers to infiltrate
one of the positions of Artsakh defense army. Armenian side, however,
managed to hinder Azeri attack, with NKR army units pushing Azeri
forces back to the original positions.
Azerbaijani authorities try hard to concoct reasons behind the
deaths and injuries on its side. In fact, these are saboteurs,
killed or wounded by Armenian armed forces who were trying to hinder
Azeri subversive acts. Thus, according to Azerbaijani authorities,
Azeri soldiers commit mass suicide, get blown up by mine, and die in
an accident.
For instance, today, June 6, Azerbaijani media reported that a soldier,
19, was "blown up by mine." He was hospitalized, with doctors assessing
his state as moderate.
Sometimes, even a concrete slab kills an Azerbaijani soldier. For
instance, it was reported that two Azeri servicemen were killed in
Agstafa region, with another having been "injured during collapse of
concrete slab."
Emin Guliyev and Orkhan Huseynov died, while Elnur Kechalov is still at
hospital. Meanwhile, according to Miacum.am website, 21 Azerbaijani
soldiers were killed in Azeri subversive acts in recent days in
Tavush- Kazakh zone of Armenian-Azerbaijani border. Today, June 7,
Azerbaijani media reported that another Azeri soldier Cabrayilov
Ramil Dilavar drowned in Kur River.
