A delegation of the OSCE, which is brokering settlement to the
Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict, is due to visit the strategic Lachin
corridor in the second half of September, Turkeys Yeni Shafag
newspaper reported quoting diplomatic sources. The mission will carry
out measurement activities in the area and report on the outcomes
of its visit to the mediating OSCE Minsk Group. The Lachin corridor
is a road connecting Upper Garabagh, an Azeri region under Armenian
occupation, with Armenias territory. Elkhan Polukhov, the spokesman
for the Azerbaijan Foreign Ministry, has confirmed the report. He
said the measurement work to be done in the corridor was part of the
ongoing talks on Garabagh settlement. Azerbaijan and Armenia fought a
lengthy war that ended with the signing of a cease-fire in 1994, but
Armenia continues to occupy Upper Garabagh and seven other Azerbaijani
districts in defiance of international law. Peace talks have not yet
resulted in resolving the conflict.
