Separatists appeal to OSCE after frontline accident
The "foreign ministry" of the self-proclaimed Upper
(Nagorno) Garabagh republic has appealed to the OSCE
Chairman-in-Office George Papandreou over the recent accidental
killing of an Azerbaijani woman on the contact line of the
Azerbaijani and Armenian troops.
In a letter, the separatist regime claimed that the woman, who headed towards the Armenian positions on the frontline close to Azerbaijan’s Aghdam district on Sunday, was shot dead with fire opened by the Azerbaijani side, Armenia Today news agency reported.
"This is not the first case of the population forcefully settled in borderline territories and used for military purposes trying to pass to the Garabagh side due to unbearable conditions," the self-proclaimed republic alleged.
It also maintained that the Armenian army had made every effort to prevent the woman’s tragic death.
Copies of the letter have been sent to Andrzej Kasprzyk, the personal envoy of the OSCE chairman, as well as the co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group brokering settlement to the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict.
The Azerbaijan Defense Ministry spokesman earlier confirmed that Sadagat Mammadova, a resident of the Aghdam district, died after an Azerbaijani serviceman accidentally opened fire on Sunday morning. The soldier has been detained and a scrutiny is underway.*
