Azerbaijani not included in group
The Field Assessment Mission today met with Foreign Minister of Azerbaijan Elmar Mammedyarov. According to the Azerbaijani "APA" agency, also participating in the meeting were experts from the International Organization of Migration and the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees. Then, Mammedyarov held a three-hour talk on the field assessment mission with the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs. The Co-Chairs didn't give any commentaries after the meeting.
Participating in the meeting in a wide format was leader of Azerbaijan's so-called Karabakh community Bayram Safarov. He proposed to the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs to include the Azerbaijani in the field assessment mission as well. The proposal was denied and the Co-Chairs said that they would inform the Azerbaijani side about the results of their visit upon the group members' return from Nagorno-Karabakh.
