On the initiative of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic authorities the OSCE
mission conducted a crisis-monitoring on the contact line of Nagorno
Karabakh and Azerbaijani Armed Forces in south-eastern direction of
the NKR Defense Army positions, where on the night of November 15-16,
2008, a gross violation of the ceasefire regime by the Azerbaijani
side was registered, Press Service of the NKR Ministry of Foreign
Affairs informs.
The NKR Ministry of Foreign Affairs without delay notified the OSCE MG
co-chairs and Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairman-in-office
of the incident.
>From the positions of the NKR Defense Army the monitoring was
conducted by coordinator of the OSCE office Imre Palatinus (Hungary)
and field assistants of the Personal Representative of the OSCE
Chairman-in-office Irzhi Aberle (Czech Republic) and Vladimir Chuntulov
(Bulgaria).
The NKR Defense Army representatives showed the OSCE mission the place
from where a special unit of the Azerbaijani armed forces tried to
attack the positions of the Karabakhi army, as well as presented the
chronicle of the incident in details. The monitoring group members
registered all the data to be included in their report.
Despite the presence of the Personal Representative of the OSCE
Chairman-in-office Andrzey Kasprzyk, who headed the monitoring group
from the Azerbaijani20side, the latter did not lead the OSCE mission
members to their front lines, as a result of which the monitoring
groups had to conduct a monitoring from more remote distance.
The monitoring mission from the Karabakhi side was accompanied by
representatives of the NKR Ministries of Defense and Foreign Affairs.
The Karabakhi side considers it extremely important to notify all
the parties to the conflict, the OSCE MG co-chairs and the OSCE
Chairman-in office of the crisis-monitoring results in view of the
unprecedented violation of the ceasefire regime – namely during the
international mediators’ visit to the region.
