OSCE SPECIAL MISSION MEMBERS HEADED FOR FIZULI AND JEBRAIL

PanARMENIAN.Net - Since this morning members of the OSCE fact-finding mission 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 the Armenian forces 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.
