The monitoring is planned to be held on April 2 on the contact line located to the north of the Fizuli-Horadiz road in the Fizuli district, under the mandate of the OSCE chairperson-in-office personal representative, Azerbaijani Defense Ministry told Trend on April 1.
On the Azerbaijani side the monitoring will be held by the OSCE chairperson-in-office personal representative Andrzej Kasprzyk and his field assistant Yevgeny Sharov.

The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian armed forces have occupied 20 per cent of Azerbaijan since 1992, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts.
Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group, Russia, France and the U.S. are currently holding peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council’s four resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding regions.
