October 25, 2007 - 15:03 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenia have never hampered visits of the PACE mission on protection of cultural and historical heritage, Armenian Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian told a news conference in Yerevan.



"Azerbaijan poses obstacles to mission's visit, insisting that the delegation should leave for Karabakh from Baku. As to Nakhijevan, everything is clear. Nakhijevan is a part of Azerbaijan. The point is that Baku wants to prevent arrival of PACE mission in the region," Oskanian said.



The visit of PACE mission led by rapporteur Edward O'Hara has been postponed several times. Azerbaijan's representative in PACE Rafael Huseynov said Azerbaijan will allow the mission's entry to Karabakh via Baku only.
