UN head urges Azerbaijan, Armenia to observe ceasefire regime in Nagorno-Karabakh
Ban Ki-moon also expressed full support to the efforts taken by the OSCE Minsk Group for the settlement of the situation
5 August, 2014
UNITED
NATIONS, August 05, 5:01 /ITAR-TASS/. UN Secretary-General Ban
Ki-moon on Monday expressed concern over reports of incidents in the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict zone. The UN press service said the UN
chief urged Azerbaijan and Armenia to abstain from violence and
observe the ceasefire regime agreement.
Ban
also expressed full support to the efforts taken by the OSCE Minsk
Group for the settlement of the situation.
“Mr.
Ban said he shares the deep concerns expressed by the Co-Chairs of
the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) Minsk
Group, the group driving efforts to find a peaceful solution to
conflict, and other international partners. Mr. Ban “urges all
parties to respect the ceasefire agreement, refrain from further
violence and commit themselves to immediate de-escalation and
continuing dialogue in the pursuit of a rapid and peaceful political
solution,” according to the statement.
Nagorno-Karabakh,
which was an autonomous region during Soviet times, has been at the
centre of a dispute between the neighbouring countries since they
became independent in the early 1990s.
The
recent upsurge in tension and violence along the Line of Contact and
the Armenian-Azerbaijani border is being described by media reports
as the worst flare-up in many years. Aiming to resolve what he
described as a “dangerous situation,” Mr. Ban expressed his full
support for the efforts by the OSCE and other parties working to
resolve the conflict.
According
to the Azerbaijani Defence Ministry, as a result of worsening of the
situation in recent days, 12 Azerbaijani troops have been killed and
several injured. There have been no reports on the Armenian
casualties, but it became known on Monday that a 25-year-old Armenian
soldier was killed in a shootout. Both side have blamed each other
for the incidents.
