Nagorno Karabakh conflict was in focus of discussions during visits to Baku and the region, OSCE Chairperson-in-Office, Ireland's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Eamon Gilmore said on Thursday, June 14.
“OSCE urges the parties to continue focusing on basic principles of the conflict settlement, particularly non-use of force, and removing snipers from the contact line,” Mr. Gilmore said.
“It is high time confidence building measures were taken between the sides,” Gilmore said, adding that OSCE supports Minsk Group efforts.
“OSCE takes only consensus-based decisions. Moreover, it has clear-cur principles of conflict resolution,” he said.
“For this reason, we developed a set of principles, on the basis of which Karabakh conflict may be resolved. They will be agreed with the countries concerned,” Trend quoted Gilmore as saying.
Increased instances of Azeri ceasefire violation have been reported recently.
Sources say that up to 25 Azerbaijani soldiers were killed in Azeri attacks in recent days in Tavush- Ghazakh zone of Armenian-Azerbaijani border.
Azerbaijani authorities try hard to concoct reasons behind the deaths and injuries on its side. In fact, these are saboteurs, killed or wounded by Armenian armed forces who were trying to hinder Azeri attacks. Thus, according to Azerbaijani authorities, Azeri soldiers commit mass suicide, get blown up by mine, and die in accidents.
