NKR MFA Urges to Hold Crisis Monitoring of Zone Adjacent to Azerbaijan

PanARMENIAN.Net - On June 15, 2006, the NKR Ministry of Foreign Affairs turned to the Office of the Personal Representative of the OSCE CiO with a demand to conduct a crisis monitoring in the zone near Azerbaijan. The monitoring should be held to assess the real situation on the spot and refute the accusations of the Azeri party on the arsons allegedly taken place on the territories controlled by Nagorno Karabakh, NKR Deputy Foreign Minister Masis Mailyan stated, reported the NKR MFA press office. The NKR MFA expressed readiness to render assistance to the OSCE Mission in conducting the monitoring and ensure the security of its participants on the territories controlled by the NKR.



"I would like to remind that a few years ago the leadership of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic via the OSCE Minsk Group Co-chairs proposed the Azerbaijani party to work out a bilateral mechanism as one of the steps on establishing confidence for coordinating the efforts on joint solution of such kind of problems, in particular, we proposed a cooperation on preventing ignition of pastures in the nearborder regions. Unfortunately, the initiative of the official Stepanakert was not accepted by Baku which testifies the real position of the parties, particularly, the absence of political will of the Azerbaijani leadership for solving issues of mutual interest," Mailyan remarked.
