On March 17, in the Gazakh region near the Mazama village on the confrontation line between Armenian and Azerbaijani forces regular OSCE monitoring was held.
The monitoring was held by of the Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairman. This is stated in the press service of the Defense Ministry of Azerbaijan.
Similar controls in the zone of the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict have been held for many years. Their purpose and meaning is not entirely clear. In many OSCE documents and statements of the Minsk Group co-chairs are often referred to the need to strengthen confidence-building measures and the elimination of tension on the contact line. However, these calls and monitoring efforts rarely give practical results. Anyway, the Armenian and Azerbaijani sides have expressed dissatisfaction with the facts of attacks and deaths of civilians and civilian objects along the front line. -02D-
