On March 29, in accordance with the agreement previously achieved with the authorities of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic (Artsakh), the OSCE Mission held scheduled monitoring of the Nagorno Karabakh and Azerbaijani armed forces’ contact line in the Martuni direction, near the village of Kuropatkino.

From the positions of the NKR Defense Army, the monitoring was led by Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office Andrzey Kasprzyk (Poland). The monitoring group included the OSCE Office Coordinator Peter Kee (Great Britain) and Field Assistant of the PRCiO Antal Herdich (Hungary).

On the opposite side, the monitoring was led by Field Assistants of the Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office William Prior (Great Britain) and Hristo Hristov (Bulgaria).

The monitoring passed in accordance with the agreed schedule. No violation of the ceasefire was fixed. However, the Azerbaijani side did not lead the OSCE mission to its front line, as a result of which the monitoring was conducted from a farther distance.

From the Karabakh party, the monitoring mission was accompanied by representatives of the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Defense, reported the NKR MFA press service.
