The Armenian side is prepared to pull out its snipers, if the
Azerbaijani side likewise expresses such readiness. Colonel Andranik
Mkrtumyan-representative of the General Staff of the Armenian Armed
Forces-informed this to OSCE Chairman-in-Office field assistants
Hristo Hristov and Irji Aberle, during the OSCE monitoring on Monday.
"We are prepared to withdraw the snipers, but the Azerbaijani side
is categorically against this," Mkrtumyan recalled.
In his words, around 2,600 Azerbaijani sniper shots were recorded
in the year past, and 850 such shots already were registered in the
first four months of this year.
"We are ready to pull out the snipers, but we will not take this step
unilaterally," he stressed.
As a result Azerbaijan's violation of the ceasefire, five Armenian
military servicemen died and seven were wounded since the beginning
of 2012.
