After completing the field assessment mission on the territories
surrounding Nagorno Karabakh the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs are
compiling the information gathered during their Mission and will later
prepare an internal OSCE report, which will be shared with all sides.
"It's clear that their report will later be used both at the OSCE and
the UN," head of the Heritage faction Stepan Safaryan declared today,
adding that he sees a serious challenge here.
In their statement issued immediately after the completion of the
field assessment mission, the Minsk Group Co-Chairs used expressions,
which Stepan Safaryan calls "unprecedented." The mediators used the
terms "occupied territories surrounding Nagorno Karabakh" and used
the Azerbaijani name of Khankendi along with Stepanakert to refer to
the NKR capital.
"The vocabulary used by the Minsk Group Co-Chairs is simply
unacceptable," Stepan Safaryan said.
"Armenia should reconsider its mild, obedient approaches on the
Karabakh issue, becase Armenia is required to make greater concessions
as a result, instead of being praised for its constructive position,"
he said.
