Armenian National Congress (ANC) commission for foreign relations expressed concerns over the statements made by OSCE Minsk Group Co-chairs during their September 6-9 regional visit.

“First, we are concerned over dispatch of the so-called fact finding mission to the liberated territories around Nagorno Karabakh. Similar mission visited the conflict zone in 2005 but did not step on the lands occupied by Azerbaijan reducing themselves to monitoring of the territories under control of the NKR armed forces,” the commission said, calling on NKR authorities to allow the mission into the region only in case the issue of territories occupied by Azerbaijan is also considered.
