A fact-finding mission of the Organization for Security and
Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) for occupied territories of Azerbaijan
has received from the Azerbaijani side materials of interest that
will be carefully studied, the Russian co-chairman of the Minsk group
on Nagorno-Karabakh, Yuri Merzlyakov said.
He told report after the group's meeting in the Azerbaijani Foreign
Ministry on Friday that it was "very useful".
The Minsk group includes representative of countries co-chairing it -
Russia, the US and France, as well as member countries - Germany,
Sweden, Finland and Italy.
Merzlyakov said the mission's experts would visit all seven areas of
Azerbaijan outside Nagorno-Karabakh.
OSCE expert from Germany Emily Margaret Haber heads the mission.
The experts are expected to visit the Armenian capital Yerevan on
Saturday and Nagorno-Karabakh's city of Stepanakert on Sunday.
The mission will begin its work on occupied territories on February
1, after which it will prepare a report.
The document will be published in Late February, an Azerbaijani
Foreign Ministry spokesman said.
The report of the OSCE mission would not have a political character,
but would only present results of the monitoring of Azerbaijan's
occupied territories.
The OSCE mission was formed at the end of 2004 after the UN reviewed
at Azerbaijan's request the issue of seizure of its territories by
Armenia.
