Azerbaijan again fails to lead OSCE mission to frontline

PanARMENIAN.Net - On November 4, in accordance with the previously achieved agreement with the authorities of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic, the OSCE Mission held monitoring of the NKR and Azerbaijani armed forces’ contact line in the Askeran direction.

From the positions of the NKR defense army, the monitoring was held by Coordinator of the OSCE Office Imre Palatinus (Hungary) and Field Assistants of the Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office Christo Christov (Bulgaria) and Marius Puodziunas (Lithuania).

On the opposite side, the monitoring group comprised Field Assistants of the Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office Antal Herdich (Hungary) and William Prior (Great Britain).

During the monitoring, no violation of the ceasefire was fixed. But, the Azerbaijani party didn't lead the OSCE Mission to its front line, to the earlier agreed point, as a result of which the OSCE monitoring groups had to conduct the monitoring from a more distanced site.

On Karabakh side, the monitoring mission was accompanied by representatives of the NKR Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Defense.
