On November 17, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic Karen Mirzoyan received Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office Ambassador Andrzej Kasprzyk.
The sides discussed the situation that had emerged as a result of shooting down the NKR Defense Army Air Force helicopter by Azerbaijan during training flight. The NKR Foreign Minister emphasized that such unprecedented violation of the ceasefire by Azerbaijan was a challenge, first of all, to the peaceful efforts of the international community, in particular, the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chair states.
Karen Mirzoyan noted that the absence of targeted condemnation of the side responsible for incidents was being perceived by Azerbaijan as a license to impunity, and in this context, he stressed the significance of development and implementation of mechanism for investigating of ceasefire violations.
During the meeting, a range of issues, in particular, those related to the monitorings carried out by the Office of the Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office were also touched upon.
