Irish Foreign Minister Eamon Gilmore, the current chairman-in-office of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, on Tuesday urged the parties to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict to withdraw snipers from the "line of contact" and jointly investigate ceasefire violations there.
Gilmore made the appeal in Yerevan after talks with his Armenian counterpart Edward Nalbandian. The Karabakh dispute and, in particular, last week's deadly fighting in the conflict zone were high on their agenda.
"After the latest reports of serious escalation and armed incidents the sides need to take positive steps," Gilmore told a joint news conference with Nalbandian. He expressed hope that the Armenian and Azerbaijani foreign ministers will make progress towards agreeing on a mechanism for joint investigation of truce violations when they meet in Paris next week.
