OSCE to conduct monitoring on contact line of troops

The OSCE mission will hold a monitoring on troops contact line near the village Orta Garvand of Agdam district According to the mandate of special envoy of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office.

Azerbaijan’s defense Ministry reported that the monitoring will be held by Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office Andrzej Kasprzyk and the field assistant Hristo Hristov.

On the opposite side, the monitoring will be conducted by field assistants of the Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office Jiri Aberle and Peter Svedverg.

For over two decades, Azerbaijan and Armenia have been locked in conflict which emerged over Armenia's territorial claims against its South Caucasus neighbor. Since a war in the early 1990s, Armenian armed forces have occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan's territory, including Nagorno-Karabakh and seven surrounding regions.

Two decades of talks mediated by the OSCE MG group have failed to produce a breakthrough, and the renewed hostilities, the worst since the ceasefire deal signed in 1994, were assessed as the result of inactivity of the international community.
