The chief of the OSCE office in Baku, ambassador Peter Burhard has criticized the statement put on the air by "ANS" Azeri TV company on creating a battalion of kamikazes. "Azerbaijan, similar to OSCE other member states, has pledged to implement the European Security Istanbul Charter and other documents stating the necessity to prevent manifestations of violence," - the OSCE representative said. Let us note that the "ANS" TV channel anchor made a statement on the necessity to create a battalion of kamikazes out of homeless children, who "will be ready to sacrifice themselves for the sake of the fatherland."
