2009-04-08 17:39

On April 8, in accordance with the earlier achieved agreement with
the NKR authorities the OSCE mission conducted a regular monitoring of
the line of contact of Nagorno Karabakh and Azerbaijani Armed Forces
in the direction of Aghdam.

>From the positions of the NKR Defense Army the monitoring
was conducted by Coordinator of the OSCE Office Imre Palatinus
(Hungary), Field Assistants of the Personal Representative of the OSCE
Chairman-in-Office Vladimir Chuntulov (Bulgaria) and Zhaslan Nurtazin
(Kazakhstan).

No violation of cease-fire regime was registered. However, the Azeri
side did not once again lead the mission to its front-lines, as a
result of which the monitoring was to be conducted from a farther
distance.

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