Monitoring will be held on the contact line between Armenian and
Azerbaijani armed forces in Tartar-Agdara highway in the Tartar region
of Azerbaijan Sept.8, the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry reported.
"During the monitoring the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs and OSCE
Chairman-in-Office Personal Representative are scheduled to move to
the opposite side," the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry said.
The monitoring will be held on the Azerbaijani side by OSCE
Chairman-in-Office Personal Representative field assistants Imre
Palatinus, William Pryor 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 Andrzej Kasprzyk's field
assistants Antal Herdich and Christo Christov.
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.
Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four
resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh region and the
occupied territories.
