The Press services of the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Defense of
NKR issued a joint statement condemning false accusations of
Azerbaijani side.
`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,' the statement said.
`Careful investigation of the case can discover some facts testifying
to the fabricated accusations of official Baku. 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: 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; 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; 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'; 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. 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; 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. 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. 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.
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.
