PanARMENIAN.Net - Azg newspaper reports the details of yesterday's visit of the OSCE fact-finding mission in the security belt territories around Nagorno Karabakh. As reported by the newspaper, on they way back in the evening the group members visited the medieval Armenian Monastery of Dadivank, situated in the territory of Karvachar (Kelbajar is one of the territories of the security belt), where they put on candles. The Dadivank Monastery, where according to the legend, relics of St. apostle Thaddeus are kept, is one of the numerous monuments of the Christian culture, which are situated within the territories of the security belt and preserve the memory of the Armenian civilization, which had once prospered here and fell into decay after these lands being inhabited by Muslim cattle-breeding tribes. According to the newspaper correspondent's impression, the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs, who were also present at the work of the commission do not display special enthusiasm on the mission main goal, considering that those steps will hardly bring to the solution of the conflict.
