Warlick calls for dialogue, to recover remains of Armenian helicopter pilots
By Elchin Mehdiyev - Trend:
"Military escalation in Nagorno-Karabakh conflict does not help
efforts to recover the remains of the crew members of the Armenian
combat helicopter downed by Azerbaijani soldiers," the U.S. Co-Chair
of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE)
Minsk Group James Warlick tweeted on Nov.22.
"We urge the parties to take advantage of dialogue and diplomacy in
this matter," said Warlick.
On Nov. 12, at 13:45 (UTC/GMT +4 hours) a Mi-24 helicopter flying 1700
meters northeast of the Kengerli village of Aghdam district attacked
the positions of the Azerbaijani army. The Azerbaijani side shot down
one helicopter. The debris of the downed helicopter fell on an area,
located 500 meters away from the frontline.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan.
As a result of the ensuing war, in 1992 Armenian armed forces occupied
20 percent of Azerbaijan, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and
seven surrounding districts.
The two countries signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The co-chairs
of the OSCE Minsk Group, Russia, France and the US are currently
holding peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented four UN Security Council resolutions
on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding regions.
