Baku has questioned the OSCE's failure to publish a report on a field assessment mission to parts of Azerbaijan occupied by Armenian forces.
"The report of the OSCE Minsk Group's field assessment mission to the occupied lands has not been published, despite the expectations of the Azerbaijani side," the head of the foreign policy department at the Azerbaijani Presidential Administration, Novruz Mammadov, told Public TV.
If the OSCE undertook the mission to investigate the facts in the occupied lands, then it must publish its report, Mammadov said.
"If it doesn't, this means something dubious is afoot," he said.
The OSCE-led field assessment mission took place in October 2010. The mission team included the three co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group, the personal representative of the OSCE chairman-in-office and three technical experts, including two from the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR).
The mission's report was initially expected to be ready in time for the OSCE summit in Astana on 1-2 December last year.
However, in November, Bernard Fassier, the French co-chair of the Minsk Group, said the report would be submitted to Armenia and Azerbaijan early in 2011.
