    NAGORNYY KARABAKH REPUBLIC CONDEMNS AZERI TRUCE VIOLATIONS

    Public Television of Armenia, Yerevan
    30 Mar 06

    The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Nagornyy Karabakh Republic (NKR)
    has issued a statement condemning the truce violation by Azerbaijan
    during the OSCE monitoring on 28 March.

    To recap, during the routine monitoring by the OSCE monitoring
    mission on 28 March east of the village of Seysulan in Martakert
    [Askaran] District of the NKR, the units of the Azerbaijani armed
    forces violated the cease-fire, opening fire on the NKR armed forces.

    In order to ensure security of the monitoring mission, the OSCE
    chairman-in-office's personal representative, Andrzej Kasprzyk,
    decided to cancel the monitoring.

    Drawing attention of the international community to the frequent
    violations by Azerbaijani military units of the contact line between
    the Azerbaijani and Karabakh armed forces, as well as to cases of
    shooting during the monitoring, the NKR Foreign Ministry considers
    necessary to declare that actions of that kind are a direct consequence
    of the Azerbaijani leadership's ongoing bellicose rhetoric which has
    not been properly assessed by interested states and organizations,
    the NKR Foreign Ministry statement reads.

    Stepanakert [Xankandi] considers that the mediators' attempts to make
    all sides of the Nagornyy Karabakh conflict equally accountable for
    cease-fire violations create conditions for Azerbaijan's impunity
    as a real culprit of [truce] violations, which is absolutely
    unacceptable. In this connection, the NKR Foreign Ministry considers
    that such position may hamper the balance [of forces] and lead to the
    destabilization of the situation in the entire South Caucasus region.
