YEREVAN, MAY 31, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. The Armenian side has
repeatedly expressed its concern over violations of the cease-fire,
and although there have always been shots after the cease-fire, target
shots have become active recently. RA Deputy Minister of Defence
Lieutenant General Artur Aghabekian stated this during a talk with
reporters in the RA National Assembly on May 31. According to him,
as a result of such a target shot, Sergeant-Major Levon Adamian,
a serviceman for a fixed period, died on May 27 while on duty.
The deputy minister noted that the RA Ministry of Defence constanly
informs the OSCE group on contact-line monitoring about each fact of
cease-fire violation. The group conducts monitoring regularly, as
well as in case of an obvious violation of the cease-fire. He said
that there have been cases when the monitoring group has presented
facts about a violation of the cease-fire by the Armenian side.
