    THE INDEPENDENT. SNIPERS ON THE ARMENIAN BORDER

    YEREVAN, JUNE 1, ARMENPRESS: Amid the hysteria generated by the
    Eurovision Song Contest, we should not overlook the aggressive attitude
    of Azerbaijan towards its neighbour Armenia, reports Armenpress citing
    The Independent.

    Last week, while participating in a scientific collaboration with
    Armenian colleagues, I was in the north of Armenia and at various
    points very close to the border with Azerbaijan. In one village
    people came out of their houses to advise us not to drive further
    along the road as Azeri snipers were regularly shooting across the
    border. A number of people, peacefully working in their fields, and
    even schoolchildren had been shot dead. Such incidents are widespread.

    The purpose of such killings can only be to provoke retaliation
    by Armenia.

    This part of Armenia is ethnically Armenian and the inhabitants are
    Christian and speak Armenian. Let us hope that democratic choice and
    the rule of law will prevail.
