On June 30, monitoring will be held on the contact line between
Armenian and Azerbaijani armed forces near Khoka Nabi village of Tovuz
region, the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry told Trend News. The
monitoring will be held after a mandate by the special envoy of the
OSCE chairman.
The monitoring will be held on the Azerbaijani side by OSCE
Chairman-in-Office Personal Representative field assistants Anjey
Kasprshik, Pieter Ki and Jaslan Nurtazin.
The monitoring will be held on the opposite side, which the
international community recognizes as Azerbaijani territory, by OSCE
Chairman-in-Office Personal Representative field assistants Imre
Palatinus, Irji Aberli and Vladimir Chountulov.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan
lost all of Nagorno-Karabakh except for Shusha and Khojali in December
1991. In 1992-93, Armenian armed forces occupied Shusha, Khojali and 7
districts surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh. Azerbaijan and Armenia signed
a ceasefire in 1994. The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia,
France, and the U.S. - are currently holding the peace negotiations.
