OSCE Minsk Group does not divide refugees on the basis of nationality
"We do not divide refugees on the basis of nationality and if we say that refugees and displaced persons must return their native places of inhabitance, we mean both Armenians and Azeris," OSCE Minsk Group French Co-Chair Bernard Fassier stated to journalists in Yerevan. He reminded the OSCE MG has repeatedly stated about the necessity to return the refugees, but only if the negativism of both societies towards each other is overcome. "I have already told, we must not build the house from the roof. The same thing is with refugees: where they must return, on what conditions and bases. It is necessary to work out all these things in details," Fassier underscored.
