NKR Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued an address regarding the
failure to hold OSCE planned monitoring of the contact line of Armed
Forces of Armenia and Azerbaijan.
The address says, "During the March 29 OSCE monitoring to the South
from Seysulan settlement in NKR Martakert region the divisions of
Azerbaijani Armed Forces violated the cease-fire regime, opening fire
in the direction of positions of the NKR Armed Forces. As a result
of this, Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office Anjey
Kasprchik took the decision to impede the monitoring for the purpose
of assuring the security of the participants.
Calling the attention of the international community to the numerous
facts of violation of the Azerbaijani-Karabakh contact line by
Azeri armed formations, which take a periodic character recently,
NKR Ministry of Foreign Affairs considers it necessary to declare
that such activity is the result of the militant rhetoric of the
Azerbaijani leadership, which is not properly evaluated by interested
countries and organizations. The attempts of the mediators to lay
equal responsibility for the breach of the cease-fire regime on
all parties to the conflict create non-punishment prerequisites
in Azerbaijan, which is completely impermissible. In this regard,
the Foreign Ministry considers that any silent assistance to the
conflicting sides can lead to the shatter of the established balance
and create imbalance in whole South Caucasus."
