Monitoring on Karabakh-Azerbaijan contact line cancelled
Under an agreement concluded previously with NKR authorities, OSCE missions started Friday the regular monitoring on Karabakh-Azerbaijan contact line.

From the positions of the NKR Defense Army the monitoring was conducted by Field Assistants of Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office Peter Kee (Great Britain), Vladimir Tchountoulov (Bulgaria) and Zhaslan Nurtazin (Kazakhstan).

From the opposite side, the mission was headed by OSCE Office Coordinator, Lieutenant-Colonel Imre Palatinus (Hungary) who, at the start of mission, issued an order to cancel the monitoring. The causes are being investigated.
