Baku. Malahat Najafova – APA. “Developments on the contact line are a cause for concern for the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office, the Minsk Group Co-chairs and for myself,” Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office Andrzej Kasprzyk told APA.

“I'm receiving reports of increased use of heavier weapons in ceasefire violations and an increasing number of incursions across the border and the line of contact. There is an increase in the number of casualties reported as well. My Office conducted a monitoring exercise on the line of contact on 14 January. I could not personally participate in that monitoring because I was briefing the Chairperson-in-Office at the OSCE in Vienna. Upon my return, I visited Nagorno-Karabakh and Yerevan to monitor the situation, and I will be traveling to Baku. I will continue to keep the Chairperson-in-Office and the Co-chairs informed on developments,” said Kasprzyk.

The situation has recently become tense on the frontline. The Armenian side confirmed its causalities. Azerbaijan's Defense Ministry said our army suffered no losses and the situation on the front line is under full control.
