The OSCE acting chairman's personal representative will monitor the
line of contact between Armenian and Azerbaijani forces in the Tartar
and Agdara border regions for the first time this year on Jan. 14,
the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry told Trend News.
The monitoring will be held on the Azerbaijani side by the OSCE
acting chairman's personal representative Imre Palatinus and Vladimir
Chountulov.
The monitoring will be held on the Armenian side by the OSCE acting
chairman's field assistants Pieter Ki, Antal Herdich and Irji Aberli.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian armed
forces have occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan since 1992, including
the Nagorno-Karabakh region and 7 surrounding districts. Azerbaijan
and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The co-chairs of
the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia, France, and the U.S. - are currently
holding the peace negotiations.
