respect the ceasefire

OKThe Co-Chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group, Ambassadors Igor Popov of
Russia, Bernard Fassier of France, and Robert Bradtke of the United
States strongly urged all parties to respect the cease-fire, OSCE
Minsk Group's official statement says.
While all parties reconfirmed their commitment to the 1994 cease-fire,
the Co-Chairs reiterated that it is critical that this commitment is
carried out in practice. The OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs travelled to
Baku, Yerevan, and Nagorno-Karabakh September 6-9.
On September 8, with the facilitation of the Permanent Representative
of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office Ambassador Andrzej Kasprzyk and the
military authorities of all sides, the Co-Chairs crossed the Line of
Contact (LoC) on foot, en route to Stepanakert/Khankhendi, to
highlight that the LoC is not to become a permanent barrier between
neighboring peoples and to demonstrate to all parties that the
ceasefire of 1994 must be strictly respected. This marked the first
time the mediators have crossed the LoC since November 2001.
The Co-Chairs held discussions with all parties regarding the
previously agreed Field Assessment Mission to the territories
surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh, which they will conduct between late
September and mid-October. They presented the elements of their
mission, and they will finalize their preparations for the mission in
the nearest future.
The Co-Chairs welcomed the decision by Azerbaijan to postpone
consideration of its resolution in the United Nations General
Assembly. At the same time they reiterated that the OSCE Minsk Group
remains the sole framework for a peaceful settlement of the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
Before they return to the region to carry out the Field Assessment
Mission, the Co-Chairs will travel to Washington, D.C. and then to New
York to work with the sides on the margins of the United Nations
General Assembly, as they had previously announced.
