Baku. Tamara Grigoryeva -APA. `OSCE cannot pass a unilateral decision
on fact-finding mission to Nagorno Karabakh to estimate damage
assessment of arsons. The Government should pass a decision on it’,
David Swalley, OSCE Regional Desk Officer for the Southern Caucasus
told APA.
The OSCE official noted that the Government of Azerbaijan had not
appealed to the organization to send mission to the region. He
mentioned that there were several recommendations for Azerbaijani and
Armenian Governments in the report last year.
`We are engaged in observation of implementation of recommendations at
present. These are recommendations, but not commitments. We cannot
insist on implementation of these recommendations. If there is any
problem, we will help to both countries’, he said. Mr. David Swalley
has estimated arsons committed in Nagorno Karabakh as painful fact.
`These arsons have caused damage to flora and fauna’, he said.
