Monitoring was held on the contact line between Armenian and
Azerbaijani armed forces on Nov.25, after a mandate by the special
envoy of the OSCE chairman. The monitoring near the Yusifjanli village
in Azerbaijan's Agdam region region proceeded without incident on
Nov.25, the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry reported.
The monitoring was held on the Azerbaijani side by OSCE
Chairman-in-Office Personal Representative field assistants Pieter
Ki and Vladimir Chountulov
The monitoring was held on the opposite side, which the
international community recognizes as Azerbaijani territory, by OSCE
Chairman-in-Office Personal Representative Andrzej Kasprzyk's field
assistants Imre Palatinus, Irji Aberli and Jaslan Nurtazin.
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.
The OSCE regularly holds monitoring on troop's contact line to secure
ceasefire.
