Karabakh addressed a letter
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic addressed a letter to the OSCE CiO George Papandreou in connection with an incident on the Line of Contact between the armed forces of NKR and Azerbaijan on December 20, 2009.
The letter, in particular, reads that on December 20 of this year a woman was shot dead from the Azerbaijani positions in the Aghdam direction of the Contact Line, as she was moving ahead towards a military outpost of the NKR Defense Army.
"It is not the first time that local residents, forcibly settled in frontier areas and used for military purposes, are trying to come over to the Nagorno Karabakh side due to intolerable conditions", - the letter says.
The NKR Ministry of Foreign Affairs called the attention of the Office of the Personal Representative of the Chairman-in-Office to the fact that the specified incident had occurred as a result of violation of the cease-fire by the Azerbaijani party, while servicemen of the NKR Defense Army tried to undertake all possible measures to prevent the tragic death of the elderly woman.
A copy of the letter was sent to the Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office, Ambassador Andrzej Kasprzyk and the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs, Ambassadors Yury Merzlyakov of Russia, Bernard Fassier of France, and Robert Bradtke of the United States.
