Between October 4-14, the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chair will conduct a field assessment mission in the territories around Nagorno-Karabakh. Both the UN Development Programme (UNDP) and UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) experts have been invited to participate in the mission.
Masis Mayilyan, President of NKR Public Council on Foreign Policy and Security, says the mission is not to be allowed for Artsakh as it is initiated by Baku.
"The mission would yield positive results if it were initiated by Armenia, Artsakh and Azerbaijan. However, since it was initiated by Baku, the results will be used by Azerbaijan solely for propaganda purposes. This is also evidenced of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev's speech at the UN GA session," Mr. Mayilyan told A1+.
For Armenia, it is imperative that the mission participants visit the regions of Shahumyan, Martakert and Martuni, which are still occupied by Azerbaijan.
"This is an area of 1000 square kilometers. We must at least preserve the balance and show the world that 15% of Karabakh territory is still occupied by Azerbaijan," he said.
