STEPANAKERT.- The Karabakh Foreign Ministry issued a statement on
recent incidents in the line of contact.
"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic
states that Azerbaijan continues to actively violate the cease-fire
along the entire line of contact between the armed forces of the
NKR and Azerbaijan. On June 18, 2012, at 8:15 am, as a result of
gross violation by the Azerbaijani armed forces, conscript of the
NKR Defense Army Aram S. Gyulnazarian, born in 1993, was killed.
The regular provocation by Azerbaijan is an open challenge to the OSCE,
the OSCE Minsk Group co-chair states, a boycott of previous commitments
and agreements. A Óorresponding note, which reflects the official
viewpoint of the NKR authorities on this issue, is submitted to the
Office of the Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office.
We condemn the aggressive and criminal actions of Azerbaijan and
declare that the responsibility for the further escalation of tension
rests with the Azerbaijani side. Such ongoing criminal tricks of
Azerbaijan force us to resort to adequate retaliatory measures.
We believe that the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe
(OSCE) should pass from unaddressed statements to tough assessments
and sanctions against Azerbaijan for its armed-force policy, for
impeding a peaceful settlement, arousing hatred, and unleashing a
new war in the region.
The Nagorno-Karabakh Republic reaffirms its commitment to the
settlement of the Azerbaijani-Karabakh conflict by exceptionally
peaceful means and its readiness to permanently carry out the existing
obligations of the parties to maintain the ceasefire provided by
the February 5, 1995 agreement, which was signed by the heads of the
Defense Offices of the NKR, RA, and AR.
The NKR Foreign Ministry expresses its confidence that the
international community will call upon the Azerbaijani authorities to
abandon the futile policy of blackmail, threats and acts of sabotage
and to return to a constructive dialogue for achieving lasting peace
in the region and a comprehensive settlement of the conflict."
