The dense fog and Azerbaijan
On March 10, according to an initial agreement with the authorities of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, the OSCE mission envisaged monitoring toward the east from Talish village of the NKR Martakert region on the Nagorno-Karabakh-Azerbaijan line of contact and toward Askeran near the Akna residential area.
The first monitoring didn't take place due to dense fog.
During a monitoring toward Askeran suggested by Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office Anjey Kasprzik, unlike the Karabakh side, Azerbaijan didn't bring the OSCE mission out to the front-line, which was a point that was mutually agreed in advance. As a result, the monitoring groups were forced to hold the monitoring at a further distance.
Monitoring from the positions of the NKR Defense Army were Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office (PRCO) Anjey Kasprzik's field assistants Antal Herdich (Hungary) and Kristo Kristov (Bulgaria).
From the positions of the opponent's side were OSCE Office Coordinator, Deputy Colonel Imre Palatinus (Hungary) and PRCO field assistants William Prayor (Great Britain) and Zhaslan Nurtazin (Kazakhstan).
Accompanying the monitoring mission were representatives of the NKR Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Defense, as reported by the press service of the NKR Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
