Nagorno-Karabakh says its soldier killed by sniper fire at contact
line with Azeri forces

YEREVAN March 13

A serviceman of the Defense Army of the self-proclaimed
Nagorno-Karabakh Republic was killed at the contact line between Azeri
and Nagorno-Karabakh armed forces in the early hours of March 13, the
Nagorno-Karabakh Foreign Ministry said in a statement circulated in
Yerevan on Friday.

The serviceman, whose name has not been made public, was killed by a
sniper bullet at the southeastern section of the contact line, the
Foreign Ministry said.

"This incident happened because of the absence of a proper
qualification of ceasefire agreement violations on the part of the
office of OSCE chairman-in-office’s personal representative Andrzej
Kasprzyk," the Foreign Ministry said.
