The OSCE monitoring on the Armenia-Azerbaijan frontline near the
Gapanli village of the western Terter District failed on Wednesday
after Armenia breached ceasefire, the Azeri Defense Ministry said.
The OSCE chairman’s special envoy Andzhei Kaspshik, as well as his
field assistants Imre Palatines and Alexander Samarski who arrived at
the site to conduct monitoring on the Armenian side of the frontline,
heard the sounds of shooting, a spokesman for the Azeri Defense
Ministry Ilgar Verdiyev told the press.
Kaspshik, who confirmed that the fire was opened by Armenians,
cancelled the procedure.
