Baku has questioned the OSCE's failure to publish a report on a field
assessment mission to parts of Azerbaijan occupied by Armenian forces.
"The report of the OSCE Minsk Group's field assessment mission to
the occupied lands has not been published, despite the expectations
of the Azerbaijani side," the head of the foreign policy department
at the Azerbaijani Presidential Administration, Novruz Mammadov,
told Public TV.
If the OSCE undertook the mission to investigate the facts in the
occupied lands, then it must publish its report, Mammadov said.
"If it doesn't, this means something dubious is afoot," he said.
The OSCE-led field assessment mission took place in October 2010. The
mission team included the three co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group,
the personal representative of the OSCE chairman-in-office and
three technical experts, including two from the United Nations High
Commission for Refugees (UNHCR).
The mission's report was initially expected to be ready in time for
the OSCE summit in Astana on 1-2 December last year.
However, in November, Bernard Fassier, the French co-chair of the Minsk
Group, said the report would be submitted to Armenia and Azerbaijan
early in 2011.
