There is no consensus on deploying OSCE observers at the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict zone.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stated the aforementioned, based on results of the 23rd Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) Ministerial Council meeting in Hamburg, Germany.

“We have already commented on the situation of the process of the status of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, including in light of the agreements that were reached,” noted Lavrov.

In his words, first and foremost, these agreements relate to the need for reaffirmation of the agreement with respect to maintaining ceasefire. The Russian minister added that even though this was done, the violations continue, and they appreciate the OSCE’s role in monitoring the situation at the line of contact.

“We believe that the agreements need to be specified by OSCE decisions; but consensus is needed to do so,” stated Sergei Lavrov. “There is consensus on the physical, numerical increase [in the OSCE observers], but there is no consensus on where they will be deployed. I, like many others, believe that they should be deployed at the line of contact.”
