The due announcement was made by personal representative of OSCE
chairman-in-office Anzhey Kaspshik.

"The monitoring which was planned in advance is expected to be held in
Chinari village area (Tavush oblast of Armenia), after which there is
a plan to hold a crisis monitoring on the contact line of the armed
forces of Karabakh and Azerbaijan", said Kaspshik.

He noted that the monitoring is held twice a month, yet if there is
a problem, it is transferred to the crisis situation regime.

Currently the OSCE Minsk Group has already appealed for permission
to hold a crisis monitoring due to the military actions in Fizuli.

"The Minsk Group is passing to the crisis monitoring on the contact
front line of the armed forces of "Nagorno Karabakh" and Azerbaijan.

Such an approach is caused by the military actions in Fizuli, which
led to victims.

The situation creates concerns and again requires details of the
events, yet we do hope that the monitoring, which has repeatedly
rescued many lives, will help this time too", said the US co-chair of
the OSCE Minsk Group on Karabakh Matthew Bryza at a press conference
in Yerevan on Monday.

According to Bryza, MG has already applied for permission to hold a
crisis monitoring.

"The situation in Fizuli is important in the sense of deepening trust,
which will help avert such military actions", said he.

The US co-chair noted that the sides have confirmed readiness to
settle the conflict by politically peaceful way and the death of
soldiers due to provocative actions should be prevented.

Personal representative of OSCE chairman-in-office Anzhey Kaspshik
explained that the crisis monitoring will be held soon. "The monitoring
does not envision permanent visits to the contact front line. It will
be held on the spot", said he.
