The officials of the OSCE (Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe) have visited the troops contact line and revealed no violations of the ceasefire regime, the Azerbaijani Ministry of Defence (MoD) and Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR) have reported.

The pre-planned monitoring was conducted on May 14 at NKR-Azerbaijani border, northeast of the village of Talish in the Martakert District, the press service of the above MFA has reported.

"The monitoring passed without incidents," says the website of the Azerbaijan MoD.

It should be noted here that the monitoring visits conducted by the OSCE mission do not fix violations. For example, the OSCE mission reported that there were no violations on the troops contact line after the monitoring conducted on April 11. Meanwhile, the parties are daily exchanging accusations about ceasefire violations. On May 14, the Azerbaijani MoD recorded 24 such violations.
