The OSCE has monitored contact line between Armenian and Azerbaijani
armed forces.
The monitoring held on the contact line between Armenian and
Azerbaijani armed forces in the north-west of Kurapatkino village in
the Khojavand region on Jan.17 ended without incident, the Azerbaijani
Defense Ministry told Trend on Tuesday.
The monitoring was held on the Azerbaijani side by the OSCE
Chairman-in-Office Personal Representative Andrzej Kasprzyk's field
assistants Imre Palatinus, Christo Christov 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,
his field assistants Antal Herdich 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.
