On June 27, 2007 the NKR Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent a note to
Co-ordinator of OSCE Economic and Environmental Activities Bernard
Snoy expressing regret that the practical recommendation presented in
the report of the OSCE-led Environmental Assessment Mission to fire
affected territories along the contact line, prepared as a result
of the 10-day monitoring (October, 2006) had not been realised. The
Ministry considers that implementation of the recommendations on
rehabilitation of the affected territories and counteraction to any
detrimental impacts of the fires in future, undoubtedly, would allow
transforming fire prevention and suppression into an opportunity of
regional cooperation, confidence building measures and ultimately
reconciliation.
The Ministry informed Co-ordinator of OSCE Economic and Environmental
Activities that since the third decade of May 2007, fires from
Azerbaijani side along the contact line have been occurring. The fires
acquire systematic character and the Azerbaijani side again is trying
to use them for propaganda.
The Ministry called upon the Office of Co-ordinator of OSCE Economic
and Environmental Activities to take a principled and consistent
position in realisation of the OSCE Mission’s recommendations. This
will allow achieving the goals set in the report and creating an
efficient mechanism for fire prevention and suppression along the
line of contact, which may become one of elements of the confidence
building measures.
