OSCE monitoring on frontline reveals no incident
The OSCE mission conducted a monitoring on January 24 on the line of contact of troops in Azerbaijan`s Gapanli village of Tartar region in accordance with the mandate of the Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office.
Azerbaijan`s Defense Ministry reported that the monitoring ended without an incident.
On the Azerbaijani side, the monitoring was held by field assistants of the Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office Hristo Hristov, Simon Tiller and Peter Svedberg.
On the Azerbaijani territories occupied by Armenian troops, the monitoring was carried out by field assistants of the Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office Jiri Aberle and Ghenadie Petrica.
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.
A precarious cease-fire was signed in 1994. However, the Armenian forces commit armistice breaches on the frontline almost every day.
