/PanARMENIAN.Net/ A propagandistic hysteria as if arsons of nearborder
settlements on the territories controlled by the Nagorno Karabakh
Republic has an objective to tense the situation in the conflict
region and aggravate mutual distrust between the parties, NKR Deputy
Foreign Minister Masis Mailyan stated, reported the NKR FMA press
office. In his words, simultaneously the Azerbaijani authorities
try to distract the attention of the international community from
the demolition the Armenian historic and cultural heritage on the
territories of present-day Azerbaijan, what is testified, particularly,
by destruction of Armenian khachkars in Djulfa (Nakhichevan).
Meanwhile, Mailyan added, as it was repeatedly mentioned, in summer,
in droughty weather, ignition of dry grass takes place in the low part
of Karabakh and its extinguishing on the territories near Azerbaijan
is hampered because of permanent firing from the Azerbaijani side
and impossibility of ensuring security of fire brigades. Ignition
of dry grass is caused not only by the hot weather but also firing
of the territories controlled by the NKR by tracer bullets from the
Azerbaijani positions, as well as ignition of grass by Azerbaijani
servicemen on neutral line between the borders of the NKR and
Azerbaijan, the NKR Deputy FM said.
