    OSCE TO MONITOR CONTACT LINE BETWEEN AZERBAIJANI, ARMENIAN ARMIES

    Trend

    Azerbaijan

    Monitoring will be held on the contact line between Armenian and
    Azerbaijani armed forces in Tartar-Agdara highway in the Tartar region
    of Azerbaijan Sept.8, the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry reported.

    "During the monitoring the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs and OSCE
    Chairman-in-Office Personal Representative are scheduled to move to
    the opposite side," the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry said.

    The monitoring will be held on the Azerbaijani side by OSCE
    Chairman-in-Office Personal Representative field assistants Imre
    Palatinus, William Pryor and Jaslan Nurtazin.

    The monitoring will be 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 Antal Herdich and Christo Christov.

    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 region and the
    occupied territories.
