Azerbaijani official comments on changing OSCE Office’s status
Changing the status of the OSCE Office in Baku is not
particularly important for the foreign policy of Azerbaijan, the
Head of Presidential Administration's Social and Political
Department Ali Hasanov told reporters.
"The OSCE Mission is present in every country. It generally is an
intergovernmental organization, to which each member-country has
delegated appropriate authority, and the OSCE carries its mission
on security and cooperation within this authority. Azerbaijan, as
always, will continue to cooperate with the OSCE on these issues,"
Hasanov said.
He added that, however, the OSCE mission is sometimes "loaded" with
some domestic and regional issues, and strays from its main
tasks.
"Azerbaijan has expressed its thoughts in this regard," Hasanov
said.
The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry has sent a request to the OSCE on
reducing the status of its Office in Baku.
