The OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs, Ambassadors Bernard Fassier (France),
Robert Bradtke (the United States), and Igor Popov (Russia) carried out
the Field Assessment Mission to the occupied territories surrounding
Nagorno-Karabakh.
This Mission took place on October 7-13, 2010, along modalities they
had previously discussed with all sides involved.
The Co-Chairs' Mission was supported by OSCE Personal Representative
of the Chairman-in-Office Ambassador Andrzej Kasprzyk and his staff,
working with de facto local authorities. On the Co-Chairs' invitation,
three technical experts, including two from the United Nations High
Commission for Refugees (UNHCR), assisted them in their tasks.
Prior to undertaking their Mission, the Co-Chairs met separately on
October 6, 2010 with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Armenian
President Serzh Sargsyan to present details of the Mission and
introduce their team. They also had a similar meeting on October 7,
2010 with the de facto authorities in Stepanakert/Khankendi.
The Mission provided an important opportunity for the Co-Chairs to meet
with numerous people on the ground and familiarize themselves with
the overall current situation in the territories, in all aspects,
including humanitarian needs. The unprecedented participation
of technical experts from the UNHCR allowed the Mission team to
understand better the rights, within the framework of international
humanitarian law, of all refugees and displaced persons in the region
and the conditions now facing those living in these territories.
The Co-Chairs, with input from the experts, are now compiling the
information gathered during their Mission. After completing this work,
they will prepare an internal OSCE report, which will be shared with
all sides.
The OSCE Assessment Mission examines the situation in the occupied
territories of Azerbaijan on Azerbaijan's initiative. During their
most recent visit the co-chairs visited these areas and familiarized
themselves with the situation. The mediators are expected to prepare
a report on the current situation in the occupied lands.
