The office of the OSCE chairman-in-office's representative in
Stepanakert has asked the authorities of the unrecognized Karabakh
republic to assist another monitoring of the contact line between
Karabakh and Azerbaijani forces, a source at the Karabakh Foreign
Ministry press service told Itar-Tass on Friday.
The monitoring near the Marzili town is planned for July 10.
The Karabakh administration voiced the readiness to assist the OSCE
monitoring of the positions and provide for security guarantees.
Representatives of the Karabakh foreign and defense ministries will
be accompanying the monitoring team.
Monitoring is a mechanism of control over the ceasefire established
in May 1994. Back then the sides signed the Bishkek protocol with
the mediation of Russia and the CIS Parliamentary Assembly. Observers
stressed that the truce is being observed without interference of a
third party.
The OSCE Minsk Group co-chaired by Russia, France and the United
States is assisting Armenian-Azerbaijani negotiations on fundamentals
of the Karabakh settlement.
As soon as fundamental agreements are reached, the sides will start
negotiations on the comprehensive settlement of the conflict.
