[Presenter] The OSCE's fact-finding mission has arrived in Baku. They
will visit the occupied territories of Azerbaijan. The head of the
mission and the co-chairmen [of the OSCE Minsk Group that mediates
talks between Azerbaijan and Armenia] had a meeting at the Azerbaijani
Foreign Ministry. Russian co-chairman Yuriy Merzlyakov has talked
about the visit:
[Merzlyakov speaking to journalists in Russian] We, the co-chairmen of
the OSCE Minsk Group, and the head of the mission to investigate cases
of settlement in territories around Nagornyy Karabakh, the head of the
OSCE Division at the German Federal Foreign Office, Ms Emily Haber,
have just met deputy ministers and deputy heads of several Azerbaijani
state committees at the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry. They gave us
very detailed and interesting information on all the questions we were
interested in. We have familiarized ourselves with this
information. But we still need to look into it once again. I can say
now that the briefing was very efficient and useful for us. The
mission can start working. This is my statement.
In response to your questions now, I can say that as planned, the
mission will visit all the seven districts around Nagornyy
Karabakh. This was planned by the mission and the co-chairmen, by both
sides. Thanks.
