"Zerkalo": Armenian Separatists Undermined OSCE "Fire" Monitoring
06.10.2006

"We regret that OSCE didn’t provide necessary conditions for
participation of representative of Nagorni Garabagh in preparation of
OSCE mission in order to evaluate ecologic situation on territories
damaged by fire.

However, it doesn’t exclude Garabagh experts’ opportunity to realize
given monitoring as realization of it has been postponed to next
day in connection with necessity of joining of "Nagorni Garabagh"
representatives to mission". "Minister of Foreign Affairs of Nagorni
Garabagh", Georgiy Petrosyan, said it while informing "Regnum"
correspondent on activities of "official Stepanakert" connected
with departure of OSCE group from Baku to the places where fires
were committed.

G. Petrosyan also informed that "Minister of Foreign Affairs of
Nagorni Garabagh" sent note to OSCE stating position of "leadership of
Republic" concerning participation of experts from "Nagorni Garabagh
Republic" in monitoring. "Part of territories where evaluation is
expected to be made, is under jurisdiction of "Nagorni Garabagh
Republic" being serious ground for our participation in mission
realized on opposite side", "minister" stressed.

We should remind that accordingly to information available at "Nagorni
Garabagh Republic" authorities "alarming ecological situation is
observed on Garabagh territories "occupied by Azerbaijan": felling of
woods in Shaumyan region is going on, ecological balance of eastern
part of Martuni region with damaged soil structure is upset".

Thus Garabagh separatists undermined OSCE monitoring that should have
started October 4.
