Stepanakert , 6 July: The office of the personal representative of the
OSCE chairman-in-office held a monitoring of the border zone between
the Nagornyy Karabakh republic and Azerbaijan near the settlement of
Kuropatkino on 5 July.

Members of the OSCE monitoring group did not discover evidence to
support the Azerbaijani side’s allegations of deliberate arsons
of villages on the territory controlled by the Nagornyy Karabakh
republic. At the same time, Karabakh defence ministry representatives,
who accompanied the monitoring group, drew the monitoring group’s
attention to the areas of burnt fields at a distance of about 3 km
behind the positions of the Azerbaijani armed forces.
