At present the Azeri delegates are approaching the deputies in the
corridors and collecting their signatures in support of their project
– to make a report "on setting a deliberate fire by the Armenian side
in the occupied territories."

Samed Seidov, head of the Azeri delegation claims that they have
already collected the necessary quantity of signatures, the document
is ready and they have got material supporting it. "It is upon the
CoE to make reports but it is important to us to make public the fact
of fires for the international community," he said.

Asked the question by the "A1+" correspond that according to the
NKR authorities the cause of the fires was the dry weather Samed
Seidov answered, "Karabakh is neither Baku nor Mingetchaur where the
temperature goes up to 40 – 45 degrees and it is quite normal for
them. We have all been in Karabakh and the lawns don’t burn there
because of dryness."

By the way, two months ago the NKR authorities demanded in their
statement to reveal the fire initiators as fires are mainly caused
in areas where the Azeri side frequently violates the cease-fire
regime. "Too many hectares couldn’t have burnt because of a few
shoots," rejected Samed Seidov.
