The OSCE chairman’s special envoy Andrjej Caspzyk started a monitoring
of the occupied Azeri territories set ablaze by Armenians over the
past month. The three-day research will take place on the frontline
as well as a number of villages of the Aghdam and Khojavand districts,
the Azerbaijan Defense Ministry said.
Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov said the observations will be
reflected in a relevant report. He said that considering the gravity of
the situation, the Azerbaijani side has offered to provide assistance
in the activities.
"Andrjej Caspzyk was expected to go there today and I discussed this
with him last week. He will conclude based on his findings which
areas have been affected and how much damage has been inflicted,"
Mammadyarov said.
The Foreign Ministry says over 132 hectares of Azerbaijani land have
been burnt down by Armenians. The financial damage amounts to millions
of dollars.
