`Armenia stands poor chance at deceiving fact-finding mission’

BAKU

The OSCE fact-finding mission will stay in the occupied Azerbaijani
territories for ten days at the most, Deputy Foreign Minister,
President’s special envoy on the Upper Garabagh conflict, Araz
Azimov, told a news conference on Friday.
The mission will start its work in the Kalbajar district and proceed
according to a map it will receive, containing all the data related
to the territories settled by Armenians.
Azimov said that there are no reasons for concerns over possible
attempts by Armenians to hide the territories that Azerbaijan
considers important and that they stand a poor chance at deceiving
the mission. He said that the mission representatives will be
responsible for visiting those areas and expressed confidence that
they will properly fulfill their duties.
Azimov said that upon conclusion of the visit, the OSCE mission will
compare the data it collects with the materials presented by
Azerbaijan and prepare a relevant report. The document based on these
facts, after being considered by the OSCE Minsk Group, will be
further submitted to the OSCE Permanent Council in Vienna.*
