/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenia have never hampered visits of the PACE
mission on protection of cultural and historical heritage, Armenian
Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian told a news conference in Yerevan.

"Azerbaijan poses obstacles to mission’s visit, insisting that the
delegation should leave for Karabakh from Baku. As to Nakhijevan,
everything is clear. Nakhijevan is a part of Azerbaijan. The point
is that Baku wants to prevent arrival of PACE mission in the region,"
Oskanian said.

The visit of PACE mission led by rapporteur Edward O’Hara has been
postponed several times. Azerbaijan’s representative in PACE Rafael
Huseynov said Azerbaijan will allow the mission’s entry to Karabakh
via Baku only
