OSCE to monitor contact line of troops
The OSCE mission will hold a monitoring on the contact line of troops in the east of the Kuropatkino village of Azerbaijan`s Khojavand region on June 8 in accordance with the mandate of the Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office, Azertac reported.
Azerbaijan`s Defense Ministry reported that the monitoring will be held on the Azerbaijani side by field assistants of the Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office Hristo Hristov and Peter Svedberg.
On the opposite side, the monitoring will be conducted by field assistants of the Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office Simon Tiller and Jiri Aberle.
Armenia captured Nagorno-Karabakh and seven surrounding regions of Azerbaijan in a war that followed the Soviet breakup in 1991. More than 20,000 Azerbaijanis were killed and nearly one million were displaced as a result of the war.
Large-scale hostilities ended with a Russia-brokered ceasefire in 1994, but Armenia continued the occupation in defiance of four UN Security Council resolutions calling for immediate and unconditional withdrawal.
Peace talks mediated by Russia, France and the U.S. have produced no results so far.
