Baku refuses to withdraw snipers from contact line

PanARMENIAN.Net - A proposal to withdraw snipers from contact line was accepted both by Armenian and NKR leaders. The same can't be said for Azeri leaders, MG OSCE Russian Co-Chair Yuri Merzlyakov told a news conference in Yerevan.



In his turn, French Co-Chair Bernard Fassier noted that the mediators haven't yet managed to reach agreement with Azeri leaders. "Still, we hope Azeri authorities will agree to withdraw snipers from contact line, which is one of the most important conditions for security provision," Fassier emphasized.



On December 4, 2008, 3 Foreign Ministers of MG OSCE member states proposed to withdraw snipers from contact line to increase mutual trust.
