OSCE monitoring on Azerbaijani, Armenian troops' contact line passes with no incidents
Monitoring was held on the contact line between the Armenian and Azerbaijani armed forces in the northern direction of Fuzuli-Horadiz highway in Fuzuli region on Tuesday, Azerbaijani Defence Ministry said.
The monitoring was held on the Azerbaijani side by OSCE Chairman-in-Office Personal Representative Andrzej Kasprzyk's personal assistant William Pryor and field assistant Jiri Aberle.
The monitoring was held on the opposite side which the international community recognises as Azerbaijani territory, by OSCE Chairman-in-Office Personal Representative Andrzej Kasprzyk's field assistants Evgeny Sharov and Christo Christov.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian armed forces have occupied 20 per cent of Azerbaijan since 1992, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts.
Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia, France and the U.S. - are currently holding peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four resolutions on the liberation of Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding regions.
