On January 10, in accordance with the arrangement reached with the NKR authorities, the OSCE mission conducted a planned monitoring of the line of contact between the armed forces of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic and Azerbaijan near the village of Seisulan, the NKR Martakert region.
On the NKR territory, the monitoring was conducted by Field Assistants of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office Irji Aberle (Czech Republic) and Hristo Hristov (Bulgaria).
On the opposite side, the monitoring was held by Field Assistants of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office William Prior (Great Britain) and Evgeny Sharov (Ukraine).
No violation of the cease-fire regime was registered during the monitoring. However, the Azerbaijani side did not lead the OSCE mission to its frontline, as a result of which it was conducted from a farther distance.
