Yerevan hails OSCE mission's Karabakh report
Armenia's ruling Republican Party has welcomed a report drafted by a
mission of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe
(OSCE) Minsk Group, which visited the territories surrounding
Nagorno-Karabakh in November.
"It is an important circumstance that the report stressed the need for
cooperation between the sides. It is a positive factor that the
co-chairmen propose involving Stepanakert in the negotiating process
and insist on a peaceful solution to the problem," Galust Saakyan,
deputy chairman of the Republican Party and leader of its
parliamentary faction, told journalists on Friday.
"It is also a positive development that the co-chairmen did not
believe Azeri propaganda claiming that drugs are grown on the
territories neighboring Nagorno-Karabakh and nuclear waste is dumped
there," he said.
"On the whole, our assessment of this report is positive," Saakyan said.
The co-chairmen of the OSCE Minsk Group demanded that a peaceful
solution be found to the conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh through
negotiations.
An OSCE mission worked in the region from November 7 to November 12,
2010 to assess the general situation there, including humanitarian
aspects.
