OSCE to monitor contact line of Azerbaijani, Armenian troops
Azerbaijan`s Defense Ministry reported that the OSCE mission will hold a monitoring on troops contact line in the north of Garakhanbeyli village of Azerbaijan`s Fuzuli region on December 4.
The monitoring will be held in accordance with the mandate of special envoy of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office.
On the Azerbaijani side, the monitoring will be held by field assistants of OSCE Chairman-in-Office Personal Representative Hristo Hristov and Peter Swedberg.
From the opposite area, the monitoring will be conducted by field assistants of OSCE Chairman-in-Office Personal Representative Evgeny Sharov and Jiri Aberle.
For over two decades, Azerbaijan and Armenia have been locked in conflict which emerged over Armenia's territorial claims. Armenian armed forces have occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan's territory since 1992, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts.
A fragile ceasefire has been in place since 1994, but long-standing efforts by US, Russian and French mediators have been largely fruitless so far.
Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four resolutions on its pullout from the neighboring country's territories.
