OSCE monitoring slated for June 23 in Karabakh

On June 23, the OSCE Mission will conduct a planned monitoring of the line of contact between the armed forces of Artsakh (Nagorno Karabakh) and Azerbaijan, to the north-west of Talish village of the Martakert region.

From the positions of the Defense Army of Artsakh, the monitoring will be conducted by Field Assistants to the Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office Ghenadie Petrica (Moldova) and Ognjen Jovic (Bosnia and Herzegovina), as well as representative of the OSCE High-Level Planning Group Lieutenant-Colonel Ralph Bosshard (Switzerland).

The authorities of Artsakh have expressed their readiness to assist in conducting the monitoring and to ensure the security of the OSCE Mission members.

The U.S. State Department said in a statement it is deeply concerned over the recent violations of the ceasefire, which have resulted in multiple casualties on the Nagorno Karabakh line of contact over the last week.
