Azerbaijani gunfire during OSCE monitoring is blow against
organization, says Ashotyan



YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 2, ARMENPRESS. The Azerbaijani shooting in
Armenia’s Tavush province during an OSCE monitoring mission was a blow
at OSCE and another attempt to discredit the organization, chairman of
the foreign relations committee of the Armenian parliament Armen
Ashotyan said.

“This was a shooting at OSCE. This was another attempt of discrediting
the organization. The Azerbaijani leadership is in a deadlock in the
negotiations process in terms of diplomacy, and Azerbaijani cannot de
facto give its agreement to the well-known provisions. This is a
consequence of duality, “feed” its own society with certain
statements, and make other statements abroad. Azerbaijan is making
efforts to change the negotiations game”, Ashotyan said.

He mentioned that OSCE and UN are busy with restoring their lost
influence and are unable to respond more rapidly to such incidents.

According to Ashotyan, the OSCE is avoiding the final cutting of ties
with Azerbaijan. He said OSCE knows very well who is doing the
shooting, and it simply avoids opposing in order not to give
Azerbaijan the chance to doubt OSCE’s regulatory mandate.
