    OSCE MONITORS CONTACT LINE BETWEEN AZERBAIJANI, ARMENIAN ARMIES

    Trend
    Sept 8 2010
    Azerbaijan

    Monitoring was held on the contact line between Armenian and
    Azerbaijani armed forces in Tartar-Agdara highway in the Tartar region
    of Azerbaijan today according to OSCE Chairman-in-Office Personal
    Representative's mandate.

    The monitoring was held on the Azerbaijani side by OSCE
    Chairman-in-Office Personal Representative Andzey Kasprzyk, field
    assistants Imre Palatinus, William Pryor and Jaslan Nurtazin, the
    defense Ministry told Trend.

    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 Antal Herdich and Christo Christov.

    Monitoring took place without incident. During the monitoring the
    OSCE Minsk Group co-chairmen and personal representatives of the OSCE
    Chairman crossed the front line on the opposite side.

    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 seven 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 negotiations to resolve the dispute.

    Armenia has failed to implement UN Security Council resolutions
    stipulating the liberation of Nagorno-Karabakh and surrounding regions.
