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.
