The OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs took part in the monitoring on the
contact line of the Armenian and Azerbaijani troops.
Monitoring held on the road between the Jafarli village in
the Azerbaijani Gazakh region and Armenian Kayan village on the
contact line between Armenian and Azerbaijani armed forces on Nov.29
proceeded without incident and OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs moved to
the Azerbaijani side, the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry told Trend on
Tuesday. The monitoring was held under a mandate of the OSCE chairman.
The monitoring was held on the Azerbaijani side by the OSCE
Chairman-in-Office Personal Representative Andrzej Kasprzyk, his
field assistants Antal Herdich and William Pryor.
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, Christo Christov and Marius Puodziunas.
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 and the
surrounding regions.
