RA Foreign Minister: OSCE Minsk Group field mission arriving in Yerevan Oct. 6

Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian said that the OSCE Minsk Group’s field mission will arrive in Yerevan today, October 6.

Answering a question of Head of Heritage parliamentary group Stepan Safaryan, Nalbandian said during a governmental hour in the Armenian parliament that the mission participants, who already paid a visit to Azerbaijan, will later leave Yerevan for Stepanakert.

Minister Nalbandian added that OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs Robert Bradtke and Igor Popov have not been in the conflict zone earlier.

As for refugees, he stressed that Armenia has continuously raised the problem of Armenian refugees in international organizations.

“In my opinion, the field mission will serve as a good opportunity for the mediators to meet with Armenian refugees,” the Minister said.
