Azeri subversion and OSCE monitoring: What next?
April 30, 2012 - 20:39 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Today, on April 30, OSCE representatives personally
familiarized themselves with the consequences of Azeri shelling of
Armenian village of Doveg in Tavush Province. The settlement was
targeted by Azerbaijani forces on April 25, with a kindergarten
shelled. The OSCE took photos and videos of consequences of the
ceasefire violation.
Field Assistants of OSCE Chairman-in-Office Hristo Hristov and Irjie
Aberle also went to the site of murder of three Armenian soldiers.
Afterwards, in the military prison of Berd town they carefully
examined the car shelled, by which the unarmed soldiers in civilian
clothes were returning to the military unit.
Prior to this, the OSCE mission conducted monitoring at contact line
between Armenian and Azerbaijani armed forces, with no incidents
recorded; the same contact line where the Azerbaijani side repeatedly
violated the ceasefire by targeting the Armenian positions.
Fortunately, this time, the violation claimed no lives.
Monitoring was held... What next? This will once again mark the start of
endless talks stressing the `need to maintain ceasefire.' Talks with
no specific addressee? Continued calls for peaceful resolution of the
problem? Mediators and international community will again turn a blind
eye to acquisition of countless weapons by Azerbaijan? Will Azerbaijan
continue its subversive acts? Murder of Armenian soldiers by Azeri
subversives will keep bearing a systematic character? Kindergartens
and schools will be shelled again?
Or the international community will find enough courage to name the
specific addressee, urging it to lay down arms? Will it finally take
effective measures? Will it call for conducting true negotiations,
instead of concealing them at the last moment, as the Azerbaijani side
is used to do?
Time will show...
