An OSCE Review Conference was held in Astana Nov. 26 to 28. All the delegations of the OSCE member-states participated in the conference.

The Armenian delegation member Arman Vardanyan informed NEWS.am that the conference discussed numerous issues – from human rights to trafficking.

The Azerbaijani delegation made one more attempt to raise the issue of Nagorno-Karabakh and accuse Armenia of occupying Azerbaijani lands. However, they met with a decisive repulse.

The Azerbaijani delegation members were also praising their government institutes. In response, the Armenian delegation pointed out that the Azerbaijani Ombudsman has no right to visit military units without the Defense Minister’s permission, which is a challenge to the Azeri institutes’ efficiency and independence.

“The Armenian delegation also put a number of important documents into circulation. Offstage the Armenian delegation presented Armenia’s approaches to human rights protection and to the Nagorno-Karabakh issue,” Vardanyan said.

An OSCE Summit is to be held in Astana, Kazakhstan, Dec. 1-2.
