    MONITORING IN BERKABER LASTED FOR 7 MINUTES

    The OSCE mission finished the regular scheduled observation at
    Armenia-Azerbaijan border close to Berkaber village of Ijevan region
    of Tavush province of Armenia.

    As the Aysor.am reporter informed the monitoring which was to last for
    30 minutes, lasted for 7 minutes only. No incidents were registered.

    Andranik Mkrtumyan, Colonel, Head of the Armenian Armed Forces General
    Staff Operative Department Frontier Representation Office, mentioned
    that the Armenian side has suggested conducting the monitoring within
    the required time, but the Azerbaijani side has demanded to stop it.

    "We think that their headquarters is not able to give guarantees of
    long term security," A. Mkrtumyan told.

    Mkrtumyan reminded that by their first deal with the Azerbaijani side
    they were to make the monitoring in the Koti village of Tavush region
    where on March 3 there were some incidents recorded.

    But a day before the monitoring the Azerbaijani side broke the deal
    saying that it can [rovide no security guarantees for that region.

    "Does it mean they can't control their own army and subdivisions?" the
    colonel said reminding that the Azerbaijani side has refused to
    conduct monitoring in the Chinar village.

    "We try to open an answering fire only at the worst case, and I can
    say that we answer when it is really needed," mentioned A. Manukyan.
