Permanent Mission: Azerbaijan rejects the unilateral decision of the OSCE to send a mission to the region

OSCE Chairmanship and Secretariat had no authority and mandate to dispatch such a mission without the prior consent of the parties directly concerned, in this case, Azerbaijan and Armenia," it was stated in the statement released during the budget discussions of the organization for 2023 in the OSCE Permanent Council on behalf of the Delegation of Azerbaijan to the OSCE, Qazet.az report according to apa reports.

"The press release distributed by the Secretariat on 19 October 2022, allegedly on behalf of the OSCE, on sending the so-called "needs assessment team to Armenia" demonstrates that there is a total failure by the Chairmanship and the Secretariat to ensure transparency and accountability within the Organization.
