The OSCE mission conducted a monitoring on the line of contact of troops near Aghdam village of Azerbaijan`s Tovuz region in accordance with the mandate of the Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office.
The monitoring held on June 22 ended without an incident.
Azerbaijan`s Defense Ministry reported that the monitoring was held, on the Azerbaijani side, by field assistants of the Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office Hristo Hristov and Simon Tiller.

The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. As a result of the ensuing war, in 1992 Armenian armed forces occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts. The 1994 ceasefire agreement was followed by peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented four UN Security Council resolutions on withdrawal of its armed forces from the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding districts.
