    OSCE to monitor contact line between Azerbaijani, Armenian armies
    29.03.09 15:51


    Azerbaijan, Barda, March 29 /Trend News, K. Zarbaliyeva/ Monitoring
    will be held on the contact line between Armenian and Azerbaijani
    armed forces near Mazam village of Azerbaijan's Gazakh region on March
    31. The monitoring will be held under a mandate of the OSCE chairman
    special envoy.

    The monitoring will be held on the Azerbaijani side by OSCE
    Chairman-in-Office Personal Representative field assistants Pieter Ki
    and Irji Aberli.

    The monitoring will be held on the opposite side, which the
    international community recognizes as Azerbaijani territory, by OSCE
    Chairman-in-Office Personal Representative Anjey Kasprshik's field
    assistants Imre Palatinus, Vladimir Chountulov and Jaslan Nurtazin.

    The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
    when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan
    lost all of Nagorno-Karabakh except for Shusha and Khojali in December
    1991. In 1992-93, Armenian armed forces occupied Shusha, Khojali and 7
    districts surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh. Azerbaijan and Armenia signed
    a ceasefire in 1994. The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia,
    France, and the U.S. - are currently holding the peace negotiations.

    The OSCE regularly holds monitoring on troop's contact line to secure
    ceasefire.
