    Azerbaijan, Baku, 21 February / Trend News corr. E.Heseyinli / There
    are plans to hold monitoring on the Armenian-Azerbaijani contact line
    near Garakhanbayli village of Fizuli region due to the mandate of the
    OSCE private representative on 22 February, the Azerbaijani Defense
    Ministry press-service reported to Trend News.


    OSCE holds regular monitorings on the contact line after the
    agreement between Azerbaijan and Armenia was signed in 1994. Anjey
    Kaspshik, personal representative of OSCE chairman, stated to
    journalists that they were informed of the ceasefire agreement being
    regularly violated.

    The monitoring will be held from the Azerbaijani side by Piter Ki,
    Imre Palatinus and Jaslan Nurtazin, field assistants of the personal
    representative of OSCE chairman.

    Antal Kherdic and Miroslav Vimetal, assistants of personal
    representative of OSCE current chairman, will hold the monitoring
    >From the Armenian side.

    The conflict between the two countries of the South Caucasus began in
    1988, due to the Armenian territorial claims against Azerbaijan.
    Since 1992, the Armenian Armed Forces have occupied 20% of
    Azerbaijan, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and its seven
    neighbouring districts. In 1994, Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a
    ceasefire agreement which ended the active hostilities. The Co-Chairs
    of the OSCE Minsk Group ( Russia, France, and the US) are currently
    holding the peaceful negotiations.
