HAK: OSCE MG should monitor NKR territories occupied by Azerbaijan
The Armenian National Congress (HAK) has expressed concern over the statements of the OSCE Minsk group co-chairs in view of the recent Field Assessment Mission in the territories surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh.
"The mission was to be realized with the consent of Karabakh authorities," HAK stressed in a statement.
"A similar fact-finding mission paid a regional visit in 2005 and reported on its findings to the Secretary-General of the United Nations. Despite the painstaking efforts of the Armenian side, the delegation did not visit the territories occupied by Azerbaijan and sufficed with monitoring the territories of Nagorno-Karabakh.
HAK calls on NKR authorities to allow Minsk group's l visits on condition that they monitor the NKR territories occupied by Azerbaijan
Armenia, for its part, should support NKR authorities and ensure a positive response by the OSCE MG in line with the statements of Armenian MFA officials on the aforesaid territories.
