[Presenter] The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry has come to terms with
the OSCE fact-finding mission's visit to Karabakh via Armenia. However,
while explaining its position it said this further attests to the fact
that Armenia is an aggressor.
[Correspondent over archive footage] Baku does not object to the OSCE
fact-finding mission's travelling to the occupied territories through
Armenia, the head of the Foreign Ministry's information department,
Tahir Tagizada, has said.
Pointing to the occupation of a fifth of Azerbaijani territory and the
fact that those areas are currently under Armenia's control, Tagizada
did not rule out certain difficulties in the event of the experts'
visit to Karabakh through the territory of Azerbaijan. For this
reason, the Azerbaijani side sees the decision as temporary.
At the same time, the representative of the Foreign Ministry said that
the international experts' decision to travel to Karabakh through
Armenia is the further proof of aggression on the part of Armenia.
To recap, the special representative of the OSCE chairman-in-office,
Andrzej Kasprczyk, said earlier that the decision to travel to
Karabakh via Armenia had been made in the interests of the experts'
safety.
