The reports that Special Representative of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office, Andrzej Kaspzyk reviewed the area in Aghdam district, where Armenia’s Mi-24 military helicopter was shot down, are groundless.
Azerbaijani Defense Ministry spokesman, Colonel Vagif Dargahli said it to APA while commenting on the reports that Andrzej Kasprzyk visited helicopter crash site.
Dargahli said that the monitoring was conducted in the pre-defined area – on the contact line of Azerbaijani and Armenian troops near Marzili village of Aghdam district and no incident occurred during the monitoring.
“Some media outlets reported quoting press service of the OSCE that Andrzej Kasprzyk has visited the area where Armenia’s Mi-24 military helicopter was shot down while attacking the Azerbaijani positions. The Armenian side constantly commits provocations in that area. Once again, we state that the reports on the OSCE representatives’ and Andrzej Kasprzyk’ visiting the area are groundless and false. Their security has only been assured in the specified and monitored area. This area is 20 km away from the area where the helicopter was shot down”, Dergahli said.
