/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Deputy Foreign Minister of Azerbaijan Araz Azimov
assures that the OSCE Fact Finding Mission report has confirmed «the
facts of illegal settlements in Lachin, Kelbajar, Zangelan, Kubatlu
and Jabrail.» «Although the mission did not come about population in
other regions, the representatives saw there repaired houses and
divided lands,» he noted. A. Azimov said that one could suppose that
«before the arrival of the mission in the territory Armenians took
certain measures, instructed the population.» Answering the question
whether the Lachin region territory will be provided as a corridor
for Armenia, A. Azimov reported that the Azeri party suggests using
the road both by Azerbaijan and Armenia after achievement of a peace
agreement. «We propose that the road be used both for communication
from Nagorno Karabakh to Armenia and communication from Armenia to
Nagorno Karabakh, as well as cargo transportation. Azerbaijan in its
turn will use the road for communication with Nakhichevan,» he
stated. Due to locating peacekeeping forces at the contact line of
the Armenian and Azeri Armed Forces A. Azimov said it will not do any
good: «Azerbaijan wishes not to freeze the conflict but to solve it.
Only after the signing of a peace agreement, return of the population
to their residence places such forces can be located there.» A.
Azimov said that there is probability for the postponed meeting of
the Armenian and Azeri Foreign Ministers Vardan Oskanian and Elmar
Mamedyarov to be held next month.
