    ArmInfo. After the March 31 monitoring on the contact line
    Armenian and Azeri armed forces, Personal Representative of the
    OSCE Chairman-in-Office, Ambassador Andrzej Kasprzyk said that he is
    strongly concerned with the growing number of cease-fire violations
    on the border between Armenia and Azerbaijan. Moreover, it affects the
    peaceful population, he added. To recall, the monitoring was preceded
    by a meeting in the administration of Tavush region of Armenia where
    the data on the cease- fire violations by Azerbaijan were presented.

    Asked about the reasons of the growth in cease-fire violations, the
    ambassador pointed out that there are various reasons but failed to
    specify them. According to him, the situation on the contact line of
    Nagorno- Karabakh and Azerbaijani armed forces in 2009 is approximately
    the same as in 2008.

    Commenting on the Azeri party's refusal to hold a meeting between the
    commanders of the section monitored, Kasprzyk pointed out that the
    proposal was made on the spot and the Azeri party was not ready for
    it. Nevertheless, the ambassador said such a meeting is needed and
    expressed an intention to contribute to organization of this meeting.

    To note, during the March 31 monitoring near the village of Berkaber
    on the Ijevan- Ghazakh section of the contact line the commander of
    the Azeri party tried to accuse the Armenian party of regular fire
    attacks on peaceful population, and the Armenian commander suggested
    that his Azeri counterpart shouldn't speak over the radio set but
    meet him personally and discuss all the issues of mutual interest.

    However, the Azeri commander refused and said that such a decision
    should be taken by the top leadership.
