OSCE MG CO-CHAIRS DISCOURAGE ANY FURTHER SETTLEMENT OF TERRITORIES OF
AZERBAIJAN CONTROLLED BY NAGORNO KARABAKH
YEREVAN, MARCH 18. ARMINFO. Based on the report of the OSCE MG
Fact-Finding Mission the OSCE MG co-chairs discourage any further
settlement of the Azeri territories controlled by Nagorno Karabakh.
The co-chairs urge the parties to accelerate negotiations toward a
political settlement in order to inter alia to address the problem of
the settlers and to avoid changes in the demographic strucuture of the
region which would make more difficult any future efforts to achieve a
negotiated settlement.
In view of the extensive preparation that would be required before the
return of refugees and internally displaced persons could be possible
in the framework of the negotiated resoluton of the conflict the
co-chairs commend that the relevant international agencies reevaluate
the needs and finding assessments in the region inter alia for the
purpose of settlement.
In order to ensure the presentation of the cultural heritage and
sacred sites including inter alia, cemeteries, of the affected regions
the co-chairs urge the parties to allow for direct contacts between
the interested communities.
The co-chairs also urge the sides to develop practical measures to
build trust and confidence between the parties and the communities and
work with their publics to prepare the groundwork for a peaceful
settlement.
Taking into account the implications of the situation for the future
settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict the co-chairs reserve the
option of further investigation and consideration of this issue for
the benefit of the Minsk peace process including fulfillment of these
recommendations.
