/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The OSCE mission holds a planned monitoring of
the contact line of Armenian and Azerbaijani armed forces near the
village of Berkaber, Tavush region.

"Azeri servicemen have developed a habit of firing upon the Armenian
territory from large-caliber weapons," said Armen Ghularyan, governor
of Tavush region of Armenia. "We take no notice of Kalashnikov gun
fire. It’s like throwing stones. But the caliber of Azeri-used weapons
is constantly growing."

As a PanARMENIAN.Net correspondent reported from Tavush, the
Azeri side continually frustrates OSCE monitoring of the frontline
alleging incapability to ensure officers’ security. "The Armenian
side guarantees not 100% but 1000% security," he quoted Mr. Ghularyan
as saying.

For his part, frontier commissioner Andranik Mkrtumyan reminded that
Azerbaijan rejected the proposal on withdrawal of snipers put forward
during last year’s OSCE Summit in Helsinki.
