The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group delegation which visited Baku, Igor Popov and Pierre Andre, and also the American co-assistant David Salvon conducted a border monitoring on October 16, after which they crossed the Armenian-Azerbaijani state border and entered the Republic of Armenia. In Armenia, the monitoring was held by field assistants of the personal representatives of the OSCE Chairman, Christo Christov and Saymond Tayor. During the monitoring the field assistants of the personal representatives of the OSCE Chairman recorded the shots fired by the enemy on the Tavush region. After the monitoring, at the Tavush community administration a briefing was held, during which the Regional Governor of Tavush, Hovhannes Abovyan presented the socio-economic conditions in the border villages to the OSCE officials. He particularly expressed his concern over the fact that Azerbaijan keeps firing at frontier settlements – the pastures and agricultural fields - thus, also hindering agricultural activities. The OSCE officials were also presented with the statistics of ceasefire violations on behalf of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces, as well as other issues concerning sniper activities on the border line.
