Baku. Victoria Dementieva ` APA. OSCE’s publication OSCE Magazine
1/2010 edition covered the developments around the Nagorno Karabakh
conflict.

According to APA, the magazine focused on the processes in Ukraine as well.

Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office on the Nagorno
Karabakh conflict Andrzej Kasprzyk answered the questions about the
current state of the negotiation process, his duties and duties of the
OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs as well.

Kasprzyk said that the conflict couldn’t be considered `frozen’
because of intensive phase of the negotiation process. `The situation
on the front lines has not changed dramatically since the ceasefire
was agreed. There are unfortunately a number of casualties each year `
approximately 30 (occasionally civilians) ` as a result of shooting
incidents on the Line of Contact and the Armenian-Azerbaijani border.
In 2009, the number of fatalities decreased to 19, almost certainly as
a result of the intensity of the negotiations. Each casualty is a
tragedy and dshould be avoided’.

Kasprzyk said to be successful means being able to achieve progress
and that depended on the political will of the parties.

OSCE Magazine has also published an article by the Field Assistant in
the Office of the Personal Representative of the OSCE
Chairperson-in-Office Peter Keay about the monitoring the front lines
in the Nagorno Karabakh conflict.
