    OSCE unwilling to point out Baku as tension instigator in Karabakh?

    October 26, 2013 - 14:56 AMT


    PanARMENIAN.Net - The October 17 OSCE mission monitoring of the
    contact line between Karabakh and Azerbaijani armed forces had to be
    stopped over shots fired, the Personal Representative of the OSCE
    Chairperson-in-Office said.

    As Andrzej Kasprzyk said in an interview with the Nagorno Karabakh
    Public TV, commenting on recent deadly incident on the
    Armenian-Azerbaijani border, `I wasn't there. I was informed of the
    incident 40 minutes after it occurred and the shelling still
    continued. I managed to take measures for the fire to be stopped by
    getting in touch with people who could actually affect the situation,'
    he noted.

    Kasprzyk believes the monitoring on the line of contact to be
    positively affecting the situation by sometimes restraining the
    violence. `Monitoring is the first action, followed by a line of
    others, the results of which are classified, with special reports
    drawn only for the eyes of the OSCE Secretary General,
    Chairperson-in-Office and Minsk Group co-chairs,' he said.

    `OSCE mission succeeds in preventing further escalation of conflict
    where it could be flared in the light of increasing military
    rhetoric,' he said, according to aysor.am.

    The monitoring of the contact line between Nagorno Karabakh and
    Azerbaijani armed forces was suspended Thursday, October 17, due to
    shots fired from the Azeri side.

    The violations were registered by the monitoring group on both sides.
    Personal representative of the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office, ambassador
    Andrzey Kasprzyk decided to stop the monitoring over security reasons.

    An Armenian serviceman was killed with 3 more injured in an Azeri
    shelling on Armenian territory.

    The incident occurred Tuesday, October 22 at Paravakar section of
    Berd-Ijevan highway (Tavush province bordering with Azerbaijan.)
    People in the military as well as civil vehicles were injured.

    The shelling left Gagik Poghosyan, born 1994, dead, with his peers,
    Araik Zhahmaryan and Martin Petrosyan injured.
