STATEMENT OF NAGORNO-KARABAKH REPUBLIC MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS
- On the night of 3/4 March, a subversive and assault detachment of the Azeri Armed Forces, composed of 20 servicemen, attacked the front line of the NKR Defense Army near the settlement of Levonarkh, NKR Martakert region, and temporarily took over the control of it, thus breaking the requirements of the ceasefire regime. The Office of Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office passed the Azerbaijani side the legal demands to liberate the seized post but they remained unsatisfied, despite the existing commitments on possible incidents’ settlement in compliance with the Agreement of February 6, 1995.The process encountered certain complications and the NKR Armed Forces had to resort to adequate measures on restoration of their defensive line. As a result of fighting, a subversive and assault detachment was hurled back and suffered serious losses. The NKR leadership considers this incident as a direct consequence of a longstanding Azerbaijani policy of threat and military blackmail, which leads to tension escalation in Azerbaijani and Karabakh conflict zone undermining the regional security and stability and has not get a decisive rebuff by the OSCE MG countries-co-chairs. The incident on the contact line once more testifies to the necessity on taking immediate measures by the international community on strengthening ceasefire regime in the Nagorno Karabakh conflict zone and ensuring irreversibility of peace which the Karabakhi side has repeatedly urged both Azerbaijan and the international mediators. In this connection the NKR leadership fully rests the responsibility of the incident on the Azeri authorities and demands from the international mediatory mission and the OSCE a thorough investigation of causes and circumstances of the incident, an official political evaluation of the Azeri authorities’ actions, as well as an immediate conduction of a crisis-monitoring in the incident zone for preventing a repetition of analogous violations of ceasefire regime in future. A corresponding note reflecting the NKR authorities’ official viewpoint on the given issue has been sent to the OSCE Chairman-in-Office, OSCE MG co-chairs from the USA, Russia and France, as well as to the office of the Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairman-in-office. Stepanakert, March 5, 2008.
