Polish OSCE Chairmanship urges immediate end of hostilities at Armenian-Azeri border
The Polish OSCE Chairmanship calls for an immediate end to the fighting at the Armenian-Azerbaijani border.
“The escalation of military hostility at the border between Armenia and Azerbaijan needs to cease immediately. The progress achieved on the diplomatic path must not be squandered,” it said in a tweet on Tuesday.
“The Polish OSCE Chairmanship remains ready to assist in achieving a lasting solution,” it added.
Azerbaijani forces began intense shelling of Armenian border positions near Vardenis, Sotk, Artanish, Ishkhanasar, Goris and Kapan at around midnight, using combat drones, artillery and large-caliber firearms.
Towns and villages in Armenia’s Syunik and Gegharkunik Provinces came under Azerbaijani shelling. An Armenian ambulance was reportedly hit on the Kapan-Chakaten highway.
49 Armenian soldiers were confirmed dead in the nighttime attacks by Azerbaijan.
Three civilians were also injured in the Azerbaijani shelling, the Health Ministry reports, adding one of them is in severe condition.
The escalation of military hostility at the border between Armenia and Azerbaijan needs to cease immediately. The progress achieved on the diplomatic path must not be squandered.
