    ARMENIA

    25 Jan 05

    Last week, Minsk group co-chairs and the OSCE Monitoring Mission
    (including representatives of Italy, Finland, Sweden and Germany) met
    in Vienna to specify the details of their regional visit envisaged on
    this week. Andzej Kasprchyk, personal representative of the OSCE
    chairman, said in the interview to Free Azerbaijan TV that they are
    going to discuss all the details of the monitoring mission in the
    course of the meeting in Vienna, including the issue of appointing the
    head of the mission.

    On January 20, Kasprchyk met with the Azeri foreign minister in
    Baku. After the two-hour meeting Elmar Mammediarov told the
    journalists that "after visiting the occupied territories of
    Azerbaijan," the monitoring mission will prepare a report on
    inhabiting these regions by the Armenians. "Let's wait and see what
    kind of a report it will be. Let the mission accumulate facts and we
    will see what will happen," Mammediarov said.

    It hasn't been decided which regions under the control of Karabakh
    forces will be visited by the monitoring mission. It has been
    preliminarily announced that they will visit Qelbajar, Lachin,
    Jebrail, Ghubatlu and Zangelan regions. The monitoring mission is
    expected to gather in Yerevan on January 28 and leave for Stepanakert.

    Masis Mailian, NKR deputy foreign minister, stated that "Stepanakert
    positively evaluates the OSCE monitoring mission's visit to
    NagornoKarabakh. We will spare no efforts to contribute to the
    monitoring mission". "We have nothingto hide from the international
    community and we are ready to show the OSCE mo nitoring mission both
    the regions in the territory of NKR and all the regions under the
    control of our forces situated out of our borders," Mailian said.

    Mailian reminded that Stepanakert has invited such missions to NKR for
    many times to deny Azerbaijan's accusations addressed to NKR.
