STEPANAKERT March 30-(Interfax) – The Foreign Ministry of the breakaway
Nagorno-Karabakh Republic has expressed concern over increasingly
frequent violations of the ceasefire by the Azeri military.
“Violations at the disengagement line by the Azeri military have
become regular lately and instances of shooting were reported during
monitoring missions,” the Azeri Foreign Ministry said in a statement
circulated in Stepanakert on Thursday.
“These actions directly derive from Azerbaijan’s continuing
inflammatory rhetoric, which, however, has not been adequately assessed
by the countries and organizations concerned,” the statement reads.
The statement was made in the wake of the recent failure in the
monitoring of the disengagement line by experts of the Organization
for Security and Cooperation in Europe in the northwestern sector
of Karabakh’s Martakert district on March 29. Armenia and Azerbaijan
traded recriminations for the failure.
