16 February 2008 [13:20] - TODAY.AZ
"Casualties are reported from both Armenia and Azerbaijan during ceasefire violation on the contact front line".

The due announcement was made by Eldar Sabiroglu, spokesman for Azerbaijan's Defense Ministry, commenting on the fact of death of Azerbaijani soldier Arzuman Gurbanov on the front line.

Sabiroglu said not only Azerbaijan has casualties during the ceasefire violation.

Sabiroglu reminded the announcement of Armenia's prosecutor general made during the collegium of Armenia's General Prosecution, according to which "27 out of 75 Armenian soldiers died in 2007 in the result of ceasefire violation".

The representative of Azerbaijan's Ministry of Defense noted that international organizations, wishing the peaceful resolution of the conflict, should strengthen control over the ceasefire observation by Armenians in the time when ceasefire violation intensifies.

"Large work is to be done by OSCE representative Anjey Kaspshik. As we see, the monitoring, held once or twice a month on the contact front line, is of no use. I think more effective methods should be applied", he announced.
