The Office of the Personal Representative of the OSCE
Chairperson, in accordance with its mandate, plans to conduct the
next ceasefire monitoring at the LOC on Feb. 27 in the direction of
the Aghdam region, Trend reports referring to the Defense Ministry
of Azerbaijan.
The Personal Representative's field assistants Mihail Olaru and
Martin Schuster will carry out the monitoring on the territory of
Azerbaijan.
The Personal Representative's field assistants Ghenadie Petrica,
Ognjen Jovic and Simon Tiller will carry out the monitoring on the
territory of the Republic of Azerbaijan occupied and controlled by
the armed forces of Armenia.
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.
