By Trend
The OSCE monitoring held on the border between Azerbaijan and Armenia on September 26 passed without incidents, the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry said.
The monitoring was held under the mandate of the OSCE chairperson-in-office personal representative in the direction of Azerbaijan’s Gadabay district.
On the Azerbaijani side, the monitoring was held by Ognyen Yovic and Simon Tiller, field assistants of the OSCE chairperson-in-office personal representative.
On the Armenian side, the monitoring was held by field assistants of the OSCE chairperson-in-office personal representative Gennady Petrica and Mikhail Olaru.
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.
