No incident occurred during the monitoring held on the contact
line between Armenian and Azerbaijani armed forces in the west of
the Tapgaragoyunlu village in the Goranboy region on Sept.8, the
Azerbaijani Defense Ministry reported. 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's field
assistants Imre Palatinus, Marius Puodziunas and personal assistant
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 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 and the
surrounding regions.
