Armenia's Defense Ministry has issued a statement over the killing
of an Armenian soldier by an Azerbaijani sniper late on Thursday.
"The Defense Ministry of the Republic of Armenia strongly
condemns Azerbaijan's adventures to exacerbate the situation on
the Armenian-Azerbaijani contact line by the use of snipers," reads
the statement.
It comes after Vitaly Ashot Igityan, 22, a temporary soldier at the
military unit N38401, was around 7 p.m. on 14 October killed by an
Azerbaijani sniper at an outpost deployed in the south-eastern part
of the contact line between Nagorno Karabakh and Azerbaijan.
Further the statement says that by such actions shortly after the
OSCE Field Assessment Mission in the territories surrounding Nagorno
Karabakh "Azerbaijan proves that not only it does not follow UN
Secretary General Ban Ki-moon's calls to remove the snipers from the
contact line, but also ignores the concerns of the OSCE Minsk Group
chairman-in-office and the OSCE co-chairs over the deaths caused by
Azerbaijani snipers."
With those acts Baku also attempts to hinder the efforts by the
international community, aimed at the peaceful settlement of Nagorno
Karabakh conflict.
"The Defense Ministry of the Republic of Armenia announces that
military-diplomatic and relevant military measure to neutralize the
activities of the Azerbaijani snipers on the Armenian-Azerbaijani
line of contact," read the statement.
Further the Defense Ministry said it conveyed its deepest condolences
to the relatives of Vitali Igityan.
