The Office of the Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office, in accordance with its mandate, conducted another ceasefire monitoring exercise on the contact line (LOC) of the Azerbaijani and Armenian troops in the territory of Azerbaijan’s Khojavand districts on Oct. 22, Trend reports referring to the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry.

The Personal Representative's field assistants Ghenadie Petrica and Mihail Olaru carried out the monitoring exercise on Azerbaijan's territory occupied and controlled by the Armenian armed forces.
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, 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 Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding districts.
