Monitoring was held on the contact line between Armenian and
Azerbaijani Armed Forces.
Monitoring was held on the contact line between Armenian and
Azerbaijani Armed Forces near the road stretching from the Bala Jafarli
village of the Azerbaijani Gazakh region to the Armenian village of
Kayan on March 1 without incident. The monitoring was held under a
mandate of the OSCE chairman, deputy head of the press-service for
the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry, Teymur Abdullayev said.
The monitoring was held on the Azerbaijani side by OSCE
Chairman-in-Office Personal Representative field assistants Imre
Platinus and Antal Herdich.
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 Khristo Khristov, William Pryor and Jaslan Nurtazin.
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.
