ArmInfo. If the parties are interested in calmer situation and want
that those guilty in ceasefire violations be xposed, they should
establish certain cooperation to find out the reasons of fire,
OSCE CIO Personal Representative in the Karabakh conflict zone,
Ambassador Andrzej Kasprzyk says in an interview with Yerevan-based
Golos Armenii newspaper.

‘The best is the enemy of the good, but I cannot call the situation
even good. I’d be satisfied if there were no fire on the front
line. However, by data of the defense ministries of both the
states and by our monitoring results, there is constant fire on the
contact-line. In addition, there are sometimes killed and injured on
both the parties. We try to do out best to reduce the frequency of
such cases and prevent them from growing into something more serious’,
the Ambassador says. He underlines that his mandate is limited. To
change the mandate, the agreement of all the parties and the OSCE
member-states is required.

Asked if all the reports on ceasefire violations correspond to
reality, Ambassador Kasprzyk says that all the reports by the defense
ministries of both the parties occur in the press without mentioning
their reasons.

‘However, it does not mean that all these cases are serious. A
soldier on duty may make a shot just hearing noise or being afraid
of an animal.

Sometimes, soldiers on duty want to show their braveness and security
awareness, sometimes they just warn with a shot that the post should
not be approached by anyone, etc. I’d like to say that reasons may
be various and they are not always connected with desire of one party
to fire at the other.

The most dangerous is the intentional fire at a specific person’,
Andrzej Kasprzyk says.
