Monitoring will be held on the contact line between Armenian and
Azerbaijani armed forces in the north-west direction of Horadiz village
in Fuzuli region on June 20, the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry told
Trend on Tuesday.
The monitoring will be held on the Azerbaijani side by the OSCE
Chairman-in-Office Personal Representative Andrzej Kasprzyk's field
assistant Jiri Aberle and personal assistant William Pryor.
The monitoring will be 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 Christo Christov and Antal Herdich.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
armed forces have occupied 20 per cent of Azerbaijan since 1992,
including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven 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 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.
