in Karabakh”

OSCE Fact Investigation mission will arrive to Karabakh in June to
investigate hostage issue.
Fact investigation mission is due to investigate all illegal actions
of separatists in Karabakh, including destruction of forests and
national parks, head of the Azerbaijani Community of Nagorno
Karabakh, Nizami Bakhmanov told Trend.
Armenian separatists are cutting down the platan forests, which are
part of the State Protected Area Basitchay at the Zangillan district.
The Ecology Ministry has already addressed the international
organizations on that issue.
`OSCE Fact Investigation mission will arrive this June to investigate
the problem of hostages.
They should also investigate the cutting down of the rare platan
forests in the area. The mission has recently investigated the fact
of resettling the non-native Armenians in Karabakh and has confirmed
it.
The report on the results of the investigation was presented to OSCE
member countries and co-chairmen of the Minsk group.
Despite, Armenian side ignores all legal international norms and
treaties of the international organizations; this document was issued
in our favor. If the fact of destruction of the rare forests in
Karabkh will be confirmed the world will know about it. And that will
be in Azerbaijan’s favor, Bahramov said.
Armenians cut and export red oak-tree and other rare species of
trees, rob our forests and other natural resources not only in
Zangilan, but also in Lachin.
