The OSCE is concerned about the recent incident on the contact
line between the Armenian and Azerbaijani troops, the OSCE
Chairperson-in-Office, Ireland's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister
for Foreign Affairs and Trade, Eamon Gilmore, told reporters in Baku
on Wednesday.
"I am and the OSCE concerned about recent incident on the contact line
between Armenian and Azerbaijani troops. There is no retaliation and
I would like to see put in place investigation mechanism through which
the OSCE will look at the activities when they occur," Gilmore said.
"Ultimately, we would want to achieve this and I hope that this will
contribute to peaceful and negotiated resolution of the conflict."
It should be recalled that on June 5 Armenian sabotage group's efforts
to enter Azerbaijani Armed Forces' positions in Ashagi Eskipara village
in the Gazakh region failed and it retreated by suffering losses.
As a result of the fight, 4 soldiers of Azerbaijani Armed Forces
were killed.
Another Azerbaijani soldier was killed as a result of fire opened
from nameless heights in Gazakh region.
During his visit to Baku, which began on Wednesday, Gilmore will
hold meetings with Azerbaijani officials, as well as leaders of
political parties. OSCE activity in the region, cooperation between
OSCE and Azerbaijan, Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and other issues will
be discussed at the meeting.
Previously, Gilmore visited Georgia and Armenia as part of his South
Caucasus tour.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
armed forces have occupied 20 per cent of Azerbaijan since 1992,
including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts.
Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994.
The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia, France and the US -
are currently holding peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four
resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the
surrounding regions.
