On September 22, according to the earlier agreement with the authorities of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic, the OSCE Mission held a monitoring of the NKR and Azerbaijani armed forces’ contact-line, in the Hadrut direction.

From the positions of the NKR Defense Army, the monitoring was held by Coordinator of the OSCE Office Imre Palatinus (Hungary) and Field Assistant of the Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office Antal Herdich (Hungary).

On the opposite side of the contact-line, the monitoring group included Field Assistants of the Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office Christo Christov (Bulgaria) and Marius Puodziunas (Lithuania).

No violation of the cease-fire was noted during the monitoring. But, the Azerbaijani party didn’t lead the OSCE Mission to its front lines, to the earlier agreed site, as a result of which the OSCE monitoring groups had to hold the monitoring from a more distant site.

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