    The information registered by the [OSCE fact-finding] mission, which
    is establishing facts of settlement in Nagornyy Karabakh, should be
    seen as proof of the documentary evidence provided by Baku,
    Azerbaijani Deputy Foreign Minister Araz Azimov told Trend today.

    Azimov said "it is of course impossible to expose all facts of
    settlement in the occupied Azerbaijani territories, but there are
    sufficient facts to conclude that the Armenian side is implementing it
    as a programme".

    "And this has not been done unofficially. This officially approved
    policy is being implemented with the immediate support of the Armenian
    government. We have sufficient facts published in the Armenian media
    which provided strong emotional and ideological support for this
    policy," the deputy minister said.

    Azimov added that the mass media describe those who agree to being
    settled as heroes. These people enjoy different privileges, including
    tax and land benefits, while their children get an exemption from
    military service.

    All this information has been taken from open sources, the web sites
    of the Armenian media, as well as collected by relevant services and
    handed over to the OSCE fact-finding mission in Baku.

    "I hope the documents and facts we have provided have given them some
    insight into the problem. They cannot be denied or ignored. The facts
    will be registered," Azimov said.
