PanARMENIAN.Net – Nagorno Karabakh conflict was in focus of discussions
during visits to Baku and the region, OSCE Chairperson-in-Office,
Ireland’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Eamon Gilmore
said on Thursday, June 14.
“OSCE urges the parties to continue focusing on basic principles of
the conflict settlement, particularly non-use of force, and removing
snipers from the contact line,” Mr. Gilmore said.
“It is high time confidence building measures were taken between the
sides,” Gilmore said, adding that OSCE supports Minsk Group efforts.
“OSCE takes only consensus-based decisions. Moreover, it has clear-cur
principles of conflict resolution,” he said.
“For this reason, we developed a set of principles, on the basis of
which Karabakh conflict may be resolved. They will be agreed with
the countries concerned,” Trend quoted Gilmore as saying.
Increased instances of Azeri ceasefire violation have been reported
recently.
Sources say that up to 25 Azerbaijani soldiers were killed in Azeri
attacks in recent days in Tavush- Ghazakh zone of Armenian-Azerbaijani
border.
Azerbaijani authorities try hard to concoct reasons behind the deaths
and injuries on its side. In fact, these are saboteurs, killed or
wounded by Armenian armed forces who were trying to hinder Azeri
attacks. Thus, according to Azerbaijani authorities, Azeri soldiers
commit mass suicide, get blown up by mine, and die in accidents.
