No ceasefire violations by Azerbaijan and Nagorno-Karabakh
YEREVAN, March 27
The monitoring by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in
Europe (OSCE) has not established violations of ceasefire along the
line of contact of the Azerbaijani and Nagorno-Karabakh armed forces,
Itar-Tass learned on Tuesday from the Foreign Ministry of the
un-recognized Nagorno-Karabakh Republic.
In accordance with the arrangement with the Nagorno-Karabakh
authorities, the OSCE mission held a planned monitoring of the line
of contact of the armies close to Talysh settlement of the Mardakert
district of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic. The monitoring was
conducted on schedule. No violations of the ceasefire regime have
been registered, the Foreign Ministry of Nagorno-Karabakh noted.
The agreement on ceasefire in the Karabakh conflict zone was signed
with the mediation of Russia and the CIS Inter-parliamentary Assembly
in May 1994 and is in the main observed by the parties. An agreement
on the principles of settlement of the conflict is now being drafted
with the assistance of the co-chairmen of the OSCE group on
Nagorno-Karabakh representing Russia, France and the United States.
