Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office, Ambassador Andrzej Kasprzyk said that incidents and loss of human life at the contact line of Karabakh and Azerbaijani armed forces should push sides to resolve the problem as soon as possible.

According to him, the June 18 incident was the most serious violation of the ceasefire over two years.

Ambassador Kasprzyk added that OSCE monitoring is not an investigation. "It would have required consent of and cooperation between the sides, as well as wider mandate and greater resources for my office. Besides, it is not a peacekeeping measure," he noted.

He also noted that recently the Presidents of the OSCE Minsk Group's Co-Chair countries expressed support to efforts of the Armenian and Azerbaijani Presidents for finalizing the basic principles and urged them to make another step to launch development of a peace agreement, Trend News reported.
