YEREVAN, JANUARY 31. ARMINFO. NKR President Arkady Ghoukassyan met
Head of the OSCE monitoring group Emili Haber (Germany) as well as
OSCE Minsk Group co- chairmen Yuri Merzlyakov, Steven Mann and berard
Fassier, Sunday evening.
The NKR Presidential Head Information Office told ARMINFO that Arkady
Ghoukassyan pointed out the importance of OSCE's initiative to visit
the territories under control of Karabakh. He said that earlier
official Stepanakert had repeatedly applied to the MG co-chairmen for
organization of such a monitoring to get informed of the real
situation in these territories to rule out any insinuations by
Azerbaijan in this connection. As regards the situation in the
territories subject to monitoring, which are the security zone of
Nagorny Karabakh, the NKR president said that the local authorities
had no state policy on their settlement. He said that the residents of
those territories are mainly Armenians forcefully expelled from
Azerbaijan. The country just creates conditions for normal residence
of those people in the territories and establishes relevant octnrol
there.
Expressing readiness of NKR leadership to render any assistance to the
mission's work, President Ghoukassyan expressed hope that the report
to be prepared after the monitoring would contribute to creation of a
constructive atmosphere around the peaceful resolution of the Karabakh
conflict. The president proposed OSCE mission to visit the territories
of Nagorny Karabakh under occupation of the Azerbaijani army to get
more complete picture of the situation in the conflict zone.
In her turn, E.Haber expressed gratitude to the Karabakh leadership
for creation of necessary conditions for the mission's work. She said
that the mission's activity would take 10 days, adding that the work
was of technical nature and did not pursue of goal of giving a
political assessment of the situation. Participating in the meeting
