  • NKR: Azerbaijani propaganda doesn't disdain any methods

    NKR Foreign and Defense Ministries: Unfortunately, the Azerbaijani
    official propaganda doesn't disdain any methods, even cashing in on
    children's life and death



    STEPANAKERT, MARCH 12, ARMENPRESS: The Azerbaijani official propaganda
    continues aggravating the situation on the occasion of the Azerbaijani
    boy's death in the frontier village of Orta Karvend, intensively
    spreading false accusations against the Karabakh party, says the joint
    statement of the Nagorno Karabakhi Ministries of Foreign Affairs and
    Defense. Careful investigation of the case can discover some facts
    testifying to the fabricated accusations of official Baku.

    The statement says that during the March 10 monitoring conducted by
    the OSCE Mission in the noted place, the Karabakh party drew the
    attention of the monitoring group to the following facts:

    1. The distance between the front positions of the NKR Defense Army
    and the village of Orta Karvend makes 1400-1500 meters, i.e. to hit a
    man with adjusted fire from a SVD sniper rifle is impossible in this
    case;
    2. The relief of the noted section doesn't allow adjusted firing from
    the positions of the NKR Defense Army towards the opponent, as the
    latter has height privileges;
    3. According to reliable sources, for more accurate firing at the NKR
    Defense Army's positions from Orta Karvend, the Azerbaijani soldiers
    climb the houses' roofs. The very houses, in the yards of which `boys
    play';
    4. In the frontier villages, people usually settle in the middle or
    back, i.e. the safer area of the settlement and not in its front
    section. And according to the Azerbaijani mass media information,
    everything is just the contrary in Orta Karvend, and the yards, where
    'children play', are, for some reason, situated as close to the front
    line as possible;
    5. Even if the child was killed by firing, still it should be
    established who and from what side fired. It isn't excluded that Fariz
    Badalov could be a victim of firing by the Azerbaijani pointsmen
    between the villages of Orta Karvend and Shykhlar.
    6. It isn't excluded either that the boy could have perished as a
    result of careless handling of unexploded ammunition, which often
    happens in the Azerbaijani-Karabakh conflict zone, on both sides of
    the contact-line.
    7. If the shot was not fired straightly at the target, but up
    on-the-mitre, so the bullet, shot from a simple gun, could not fly so
    far. High calibre machineguns can fire at such a distance. But,
    according to the Azerbaijani mass media information, the child died on
    the way to the hospital. If the shot had been fired from a high
    calibre gun, so it would have merely smashed the child's head.
    `Unfortunately, the Azerbaijani official propaganda doesn't disdain
    any methods, even cashing in on children's life and death. The
    Armenian parties are strangers to fascist methods used by Azerbaijan -
    killing children, asleep men, and hostages, making subversives and
    terrorists national heroes, and others,' the statement runs.

    Every time, after the Presidents' meetings or before a visit of the
    OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairmen to the region, the Azerbaijani propaganda
    machine increases the tension on the contact-line. Another example was
    the March 10 death of 19-year-old soldier of the NKR Defense Army
    Arthur Aghababian as a result of the firing from the Azerbaijani side.
    The incident took place almost immediately after the OSCE monitoring
    of the NKR and Azerbaijani armed forces' contact-line. This is rough
    violation of the agreements on confidence building measures achieved
    on March 5 in Sochi as a result of the Armenian, Russian, and
    Azerbaijani Presidents' meeting. While, on the initiative of the
    Armenian parties, the mediators once again offer drawing off snipers
    from the front line, official Baku doesn't only block this initiative,
    but also intensifies the sniper war and with its provocative actions
    reduces to zero the efforts of the international community on peaceful
    settlement of the Karabakh conflict.

    `The international community must strictly condemn similar actions of
    the Azerbaijani leadership and apply corresponding sanctions against
    it,' the statement concluded.
