On June 20, in accordance with the earlier achieved agreement with
the NKR authorities the OSCE mission conducted a regular monitoring
of the contact-line of Nagorno Karabakh and Azerbaijani armed forces
eastward of the settlement of Seysulan, NKR Martakert region.

>From the positions of the NKR Defense Army the monitoring was conducted
by Coordinator of the OSCE office lieutenant colonel Imre Palatinus
(Hungary) and Field Assistant of the Personal Representative of the
OSCE Chairman-in-Office Antal Herdich (Hungary).

>From the Azeri side the monitoring group was headed by the Personal
Representative of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office Andrzej Kasprzyk. No
violation of cease-fire regime was fixed.

However, the Azeri side unlike the Karabakhi one did not lead the
OSCE mission to their front lines, as a result of which the monitoring
group had to monitor from a more remote distance. Imre Palatinus drew
Ambassador Kasprzyk’s attention to that fact.

The monitoring mission from the Karabakh side was accompanied by
representatives of the NKR Ministries of Defense and Foreign Affairs.
