report prepared by the OSCE fact finding group on illegal settlement

Qarabaq. Mr. Mammadyarov told in his interview with ANS that official
Baku will release statement regarding the report on March 22. Foreign
minister considers the report as objective in general at the same time
outlining some contradicting points. There are some issues that we can
not accept. The report says that official Yerevan is not engaged in
illegal settlement policy. But we have information about it. That's
hwy the fact finding group needs to carry on its activity and prove
Yerevan's hand. As to regular breach of the ceasefire recently on
the front line Mr. Elmar Mammadyarov doesn't rule out that it serves
interests of Armenia. We have already made our position known. We are
accepting ceasefire violation as a provoking attempt by Armenia while
there are peaceful negotiations. Mr. Mammadyarov hardly believes
