Monitoring was held on the contact line between Armenian and
Azerbaijani armed forces in Tartar-Agdara highway in the Tartar region
of Azerbaijan today according to OSCE Chairman-in-Office Personal
Representative's mandate.
The monitoring was held on the Azerbaijani side by OSCE
Chairman-in-Office Personal Representative Andzey Kasprzyk, field
assistants Imre Palatinus, William Pryor and Jaslan Nurtazin, the
defense Ministry told Trend.
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 Antal Herdich and Christo Christov.
Monitoring took place without incident. During the monitoring the
OSCE Minsk Group co-chairmen and personal representatives of the OSCE
Chairman crossed the front line on the opposite side.
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 seven 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 negotiations to resolve the dispute.
Armenia has failed to implement UN Security Council resolutions
stipulating the liberation of Nagorno-Karabakh and surrounding regions.
