PanARMENIAN.Net - OSCE Chairperson-in-Office, Ireland's Deputy
Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Eamon Gilmore expressed hope
for progress to be achieved at the upcoming ministerial meeting in
devising a mechanism for investigating incidents at the contact line
between Armenian and Azerbaijani armed forces.
"There must be such a mechanism, and as current OSCE
Chairperson-in-Office I will support its development," he said.
Mr. Gilmore stressed the need for the conflicting parties to remove
snipers from the line of contact and devise mechanisms to prevent
and investigate border incidents.
Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian, in turn, noted that
Armenia stands for development of such a mechanism.
"In contrast to Azerbaijan, Armenian side upholds commitment to the
agreements reached," Minister Nalbandian said, blaming the Azeri side
for foiling implementation of the agreements reached at Sochi meeting.
As Defence.az website reported citing military sources, numerous
sniper groups have been deployed at contact line and Armenia-Azerbaijan
border.
Increased number of ceasefire violations on Azeri side has been
reported recently. Sources say that up to 25 Azerbaijani soldiers
were killed in Azeri attacks in recent days in Tavush- Kazakh zone
of Armenian-Azerbaijani border.
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
attacks. Thus, according to Azerbaijani authorities, Azeri soldiers
commit mass suicides, get blown up by mines, and die in accidents.
