    Armenia is directly involved in settlement of the occupied
    territories of Azerbaijan, Deputy Foreign Minister of Azerbaijan told
    reporters when commenting on the results of the meeting with the
    co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk group and the members of the
    international mission.

    According Azimov, the representatives of the Foreign Ministry,
    Ministry of National Security, State Border Service, Land Committee
    took part in the meeting.

    During the meeting the Azeri side submitted the commission video- and
    audio materials testifying settling of the occupied territories and
    geographic maps.
    `Settlement of the territories is taking place with direct
    participation of Armenia,' Azimov said. `Approximately 23,000 people
    were settled there. The policy of settlement is taking place in
    different forms.'

    Azimov notes that settlement of the occupied territories does not
    positively affect the course of the talks of settling the Nagorno
    Karabakh conflict. The information on the use of the occupied
    territories for illegal drug trafficking and organized crime was also
    submitted to the commission.

    According to Azimov, the commission will attend the occupied
    territories in several days. First they will visit Kelbajar and
    Lachin regions and then will visit the other regions, including
    Shusha. The researches will last 20 days and on the basis of
    materials they will prepare report which will be submitted to the
    OSCE Minsk Group and to the Permanent Commission of OSCE in Vienna.
