01.02.2005 15:22
/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Since this morning members of the OSCE special
mission for collection of facts in the territories of the security
belt around the NKR that are controlled by Armenian forces headed for
Fizuli and Jebrail regions, which are situated to the south of the
main NKR territory at the border with Iran. The region of Fizuli is
only partially controlled by the Armenian forces. Both regions were
liberated by Armenian armed formations of the Nagorno Karabakh
Republic in the end of summer and in autumn 1993. The establishment of
control over those regions allowed the Armenian party to secure the
population in the southern part of the NKR, as well as considerably
curtail the front line. The Armenian control over the security belt
territories is the only real guarantee of non-resumption of
hostilities until now. It should be reminded that yesterday special
mission representatives visited Karvachar (Kelbajar) region, where
they met with residents, which are mostly refugees from Azerbaijan.
