OSCE A report by an OSCE-led field assessment mission to the occupied
areas around Karabakh will not be submitted to the conflict parties
until 2011.
Bernard Fassier, French co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group mediating
a settlement to the conflict, told journalists in Baku the report
would be submitted to Armenia and Azerbaijan early next year.
He dismissed Armenian media reports that the assessment mission's
report had already been submitted to the sides, APA news agency said.
The field assessment mission visited the occupied territories
surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh on 7-13 October.
While the OSCE mediators visit Nagorno-Karabakh quite often, the
occupied Azerbaijani territory around Karabakh is rarely visited by
international representatives.
Bernard Fassier arrived in Baku today accompanied by his fellow Minsk
Group co-chairs, Igor Popov of Russia and Robert Bradtke of the USA.
They are to hold talks on Friday with Azerbaijani President Ilham
Aliyev and Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov.
The visit comes just ahead of the OSCE summit in the Kazakh capital,
Astana.
