Mediators Change Their Route to Karabakh, Reports Say

Baku Today / AssA-Irada 14/07/2005 20:06

The mediating OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs Steven Mann of the U.S.,
Bernard Fassier of France and Yuri Merzlyakov of Russia have changed
the route of their visit to Khankandi in Nagorno Karabakh, Armenian
news agencies reported.

The co-chairs left Baku for Khankandi on Wednesday morning. Their
visit program remained unchanged, the reports said.

The mediators met with the head of the separatist regime in Nagorno
Karabakh Arkadi Gukasian prior to leaving for Yerevan late on the
same day.

The radical Karabakh Liberation Organization took to the streets
earlier in a strong protest against the mediators’ previously-planned
visit to occupied territories through Armenia instead of Azerbaijan.
