STEPANAKERT, DECEMBER 15, ARMENPRESS: The scheduled-for-December
15 the monitoring of the south-east section of the Nagorno Karabakh
and Azerbaijani armed forces’ contact-line to be implemented by the
OSCE Mission was stopped, due to a single submachine gun shot towards
the group implementing the monitoring from the positions of the NKR
Defense Army.
NKR MFA Press Service told Armenpress that the incident was caused
by the fact that the Azerbaijani party hadn’t led the OSCE observers
to its borderline, thus violating the earlier achieved arrangement.
The shot was fixed by the monitoring group members – the OSCE Office
Coordinator, Lieutenant-Colonel Imre Palatinus (Hungary), Field
Assistants of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office’s Personal Representative
Irge Aberle (Czechia) and Vladimir Tchountoulov (Bulgaria) who decided
to stop the monitoring, for security purposes.
