March 17, in Vienna, the report of the Fact-Finding mission was
presented at the sitting of the OSCE Permanent Council during which
the OSCE Minsk Group Co-chairs proposed their recommendations to the
conflicting parties and the international community.

It should be noted that though the NKR Ministry of Foreign Affairs
received the Mission and rendered the essential technical assistance
its representatives were not allowed to take part in the hearings on
the report. As response to the formal inquiry the NKR MFA received
the documents presented during the sitting.

On the basis of the documents received the NKR Foreign Ministry noted
the objectivity of the report. However, it should be noted that the
Mission visited the regions controlled by Karabakh and that is why
the missionaries did not get the complete picture of the humanitarian
catastrophe caused by the war that was waged by Azerbaijan. At that
time over 500 000 Armenian were exiled from their home and lost
their property.

The NKR MFA called the international community to follow the example
of the governments of Armenia and the US and help the refugees,
who found shelter on the territory of Nagorno Karabakh.

The NKR Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirms its adherence to the
peaceful settlement of all the conflicts and highly appreciated
the efforts exerted by the OSCE Minsk Group and the international
community.
