Azerbaijan and Armenia have appealed to the United Nations over
the frequent ceasefire violations, according to Azerbaijani Foreign
Minister Elmar Mammadyarov.
The OSCE chairman’s special envoy Anzhei Kaspshik has said he is
concerned with the persistent ceasefire breaches. Another monitoring
will be held on the frontline in two weeks, he said. Kaspshik admitted,
however, that the OSCE is unable to prevent ceasefire violations,
as this is outside its mandate.
The ceasefire has been violated more than 50 times over the past two
months alone. The casualties on both sides have amounted to 40 for
the first time in seven years.
