RA REPRESENTATIVE TO UN DREW SECRETARY GENERAL'S ATTENTION TO SYSTEMATIC VIOLATION OF CEASEFIRE BY AZERBAIJAN

Armenia's Permanent Representative to the United Nations Garen Nazarian
has sent a letter to UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon where he draws
Secretary General's attention to the systematic violation of ceasefire
by Azerbaijan.
"Azerbaijani armed forces target Armenian positions and settlements on
a daily basis along the line of contact between Nagorno Karabakh and
Azerbaijan and the Armenian-Azerbaijani state border," it is stated
in the letter.
According the document in January the Azerbaijani forces were
intensely firing in the direction of villages in Tavush region of
Armenia. There were reports of casualties from Armenian as well
as Azerbaijani side. "We are deeply concerned with regard to these
incidents, and feel sorrow for the lost lives of the young soldiers,"
said the Permanent Representative in his letter.
According to Nazarian, such systematic violations of international
law by Azerbaijan, namely the principle of non-use of threat and
force pose a serious threat to the peace and security of the region.
There is a solid ground to conclude that the actions of certain
Azerbaijani detachments are either not properly subject to a chain
of command or that these provocations are deliberately intended to
destabilize the situation in the region, it is stated in the letter.
"As for the allegations of the Azerbaijani propaganda machine, claiming
that the Armenian side violates the ceasefire regime at different
parts of the line of contact, I would like to inform you that the
dissemination of this kind of misinformation is part of the pitiful
attempts made by representatives of the Azerbaijani Government at
different levels to mislead broader international opinion, as well as
its own public opinion," said the Permanent Representative of Armenia
to the UN.
He has noted that such provocations emphasize the importance of
complying with ceasefire agreement concluded on a trilateral basis,
as well as of implementing the proposals to withdraw snipers and
create an investigative mechanism on ceasefire violations.
The unequivocal commitment to the ceasefire and confidence building
by the parties concerned will definitely serve as a crucial factor
in creating a conducive environment for the peace process, the letter
reads. According to him every death of a soldier or a civilian on the
border creates new serious predicaments on the way of the settlement
of the conflict.
