BREAKAWAY AZERI REGION SAYS UN RESOLUTION ON FIRES "ACCEPTABLE"
Public Television of Armenia, Yerevan, in Armenian
Sept 11 2006
[Presenter] The Nagornyy Karabakh foreign ministry considers the UN
[General Assembly] resolution on the fires on the contact lines
between the Azerbaijani and Karabakh armed forces to be acceptable.
The Karabakh leadership is deeply concerned about the fires that damage
agriculture, and asked the office of the personal representative of
the OSCE chairman-in-office on 15 June to conduct monitoring on the
border with Azerbaijan.
The OSCE held the monitoring with a two-week delay and prepared the
well-known report that denies Azerbaijan’s accusations.
[Karabakh president Arkadiy Gukasyan] It is clear that Azerbaijan
is deliberately making a fuss, because they themselves have started
the fires and this propaganda campaign. The matter is that since the
very beginning, we have asked various international organizations to
send a mission [to the scene] and we ourselves want the international
community to have a clear impression and understanding of what is
going on in Nagornyy Karabakh, especially in border areas.
Azerbaijan’s aim is the same – to discredit everything connected
with Karabakh.
