    Monitoring was held on the contact line between Armenian and
    Azerbaijani Armed Forces.

    Monitoring was held on the contact line between Armenian and
    Azerbaijani Armed Forces near the road stretching from the Bala Jafarli
    village of the Azerbaijani Gazakh region to the Armenian village of
    Kayan on March 1 without incident. The monitoring was held under a
    mandate of the OSCE chairman, deputy head of the press-service for
    the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry, Teymur Abdullayev said.

    The monitoring was held on the Azerbaijani side by OSCE
    Chairman-in-Office Personal Representative field assistants Imre
    Platinus and Antal Herdich.

    The monitoring was held on the opposite side, which the
    international community recognizes as Azerbaijani territory, by OSCE
    Chairman-in-Office Personal Representative Andrzej Kasprzyk's field
    assistants Khristo Khristov, William Pryor and Jaslan Nurtazin.

    The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
    when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
    armed forces have occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan since 1992,
    including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and 7 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 the peace negotiations.

    Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four
    resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the
    surrounding regions.
