The monitoring ended without an incident, Azerbaijan`s Defense Ministry reported.
The monitoring was held, on the Azerbaijani side, by Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office Andrzej Kasprzyk and his field assistant Jiri Aberle.On the opposite side, the monitoring was conducted by field assistants of the Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office Yevgeny Sharov, Hristo Hristov and Peter Svedberg.
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 two countries signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The
co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group, Russia, France and the US are
currently holding peace negotiations. Armenia has not yet
implemented the UN Security Council's four resolutions on
withdrawal of its armed forces from the Nagorno-Karabakh and the
surrounding districts
