    THE REPRESENTATIVE OF ARMENIA TO THE OSCE DENOUNCES THE PROVOCATIONS OF BAKU

    ARMENIA

    Friday, March 27, the Permanent Representative of Armenia to the OSCE,
    Ambassador Arman Kirakossian, did not mince his words to denounce
    Azerbaijan's policy, in his speech on the occasion of the meeting
    of the OSCE Permanent Council. M.Kirakossian referred in particular
    commando raid attempts Azeri March 19, along the border of Artsakh,
    at Martakert, an attack that killed four defense army of soldiers
    Artsakh. He said the response units of the Defense Army of Artsakh
    positioned in the sector had inflicted serious losses in the ranks
    of Azeri commandos; but the Azerbaijani army was careful to report
    such losses, prohibiting access areas near the fighting journalists
    and representatives of civil society.

    The permanent representative of Armenia said that for the first time
    since the cease-fire, Azerbaijan had used caliber 120 mm artillery
    pieces, which speaks volumes about the intentions of Baku and its
    responsibilities in the escalation of tensions. Such deliberate
    actions by Azerbaijan aimed at undermining the regime of cease-fire
    established under trilateral agreements in May 1994 and February 1995.

    The Ambassador Kirakossian stressed that these alarming developments
    should be monitored with particular attention by the co-chairs
    of the Minsk Group and the Personal Representative of the OSCE
    Chairman-in-Office.

    The Ambassador Kirakossian also pointed out that as the world marks
    the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination,
    the Azerbaijani authorities send hatred and xenophobia messages. In
    this regard, he cited the statements of the President and the Defense
    Minister of Azerbaijan, who claimed rights to the territory of Armenia
    and other territories, openly expressing their willingness to resolve
    the conflict of Artsakh through military aggression.

    Mr Kirakossian stressed that the physical survival of the people of
    Artsakh and its protection against the atrocities of Baku are the
    responsibility of the authorities of Artsakh. He also recalled that
    these regions of Artsakh that had fallen under the control of the
    armed forces of Azerbaijan had been fully emptied of their native
    population. Mr. Kirakossian considers that Azerbaijan is trying to
    revive the military phase of the conflict so as to deprive the people
    of Artsakh its right to self-determination by the use of force.

    Condemning the "political strength" of the authorities of Azerbaijan,
    Armenian Ambassador to the OSCE stressed that Baku portrait full
    responsibility for the military escalation of the conflict and its
    consequences. He reiterated the firm position of Armenia in favor
    of strengthening the cease-fire regime through the establishment of
    confidence building measures as a major condition for progress in
    peace talks.
