OSCE monitoring ends without incident

In accordance with the mandate of the Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office, the OSCE mission has today conducted a monitoring on the line of contact of troops located in Azerbaijan`s Agdam region.

Azerbaijan`s Defense Ministry reported on December 8 that the monitoring ended without an incident.

On the Azerbaijani side, the monitoring was held by field assistants of Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office Jiri Aberle, Peter Svedberg and Simon Tiller.

On the Azerbaijani territories occupied by Armenian troops, the monitoring was carried out by field assistants of Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office Ghenadie Petrica and Hristo Hristov.

Azerbaijan and Armenia for over two decades have been locked in conflict, which emerged over Armenian territorial claims. Since the 1990s war, Armenian armed forces have occupied over 20 percent of Azerbaijan's internationally recognized territory, including Nagorno-Karabakh and seven adjacent regions.

The UN Security Council has adopted four resolutions on Armenian withdrawal, but they have not been enforced to this day.

The OSCE Minsk Group, the activities of which have become known as the Minsk Process, works to find a peaceful solution to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict for over two decades, but in vain.
