Baku continues to delude the international community and its own
people.

Simultaneously with the uninterrupted information or rather
misinformation attack on the alleged daily violations of the ceasefire
regime by the Armenian side, the Azerbaijani side again and again makes
suicidal attempts to penetrate into the territory of Nagorno Karabakh.

Not having licked their wounds yet, which were received as a result
of their own provocation near the village of Levonarkh, Baku has
plunged into regular adventure.

This time the Azeri side’s impudence has exceeded all bounds – they
violated the ceasefire regime immediately after the declaration
signed by Russian, Armenian and Azerbaijani presidents and namely
during the OSCE MG Co-chairmen’s visit to Stepanakert.

No wonder that coming to military and political grief once again,
Baku has tried to lay its own fault at somebody else’s door.

Trying to demonstrate the death of their soldier as the death of a
hero, the Azeri agencies APA, Day.Az write that after "firing from the
Armenian side" the Azerbaijani "Rembo" "continuing firing moved t o the
enemy side" and managed to kill two Armenian soldiers. Quite another
version disproving the first one was published by the information
agency Trend News alleging that the Azerbaijani soldier, who deserted
the army, tried to go across to the enemy, however was killed.

One should not be surprised – this is the mentality of the Azeri
leadership. They have already got accustomed to "save their face" using
lie and deception as a cover. However, the Azerbaijani leadership
should comprehend that similar policy first of all damages the
Azerbaijani people, as by injecting the dose of hatred towards
Armenians, the prospect of reconciliation with their neighbors
moves away.

Let’s see what the OSCE MG Co-chairs will tell this time; and
namely Ambassador Kasprzyk, who expects guarantees of security
for the monitoring group from Azerbaijan instead of conducting a
crisis-monitoring.
