OSCE Chairman calls for immediate humanitarian support to Karabakh  Armenians

ArmInfo. OSCE Chairman-in-Office calls for immediate humanitarian support to Karabakh Armenians and  international involvement amid humanitarian crisis.

As the press release of the organization reads: " OSCE Chairman-in-Office, Minister of Foreign Affairs of North Macedonia Bujar Osmani, expressing serious concerns, calls for increased  international support and humanitarian relief for the over 100,000  Karabakh Armenians that have found refuge in the Republic of Armenia.  Humanitarian needs must remain the top priority and the international  donor community should continue to actively demonstrate solidarity  and responsibility sharing to assist Armenia as its government  responds to this unfolding humanitarian crisis. OSCE Chairman-in-  Office Osmani took note of the visit by UN representatives to  Khankendi/Stepanakert on 1 October and believes that continued  engagement by the international community would contribute to  stabilizing the situation on the ground and efforts toward  sustainable peace. Discussions regarding international involvement on  the ground should continue, as an independent international  observation mission would bring confidence and reassurance to those  who want to return. OSCE Chairman-in-Office Osmani notes the public  statements by Azerbaijan on the integration of the Armenian  population and prospects for the return of the displaced population.  Safeguarding the rights and security of Karabakh Armenians, in line  with its OSCE commitments, is Azerbaijan's responsibility. The use of  force over diplomatic negotiation to settle disputes is always  unacceptable and hinders prospects for dignified and inclusive peace.  Chairman-in-Office Osmani supports the continuation of political  processes towards a peace treaty between the countries. The OSCE and  its relevant structures, within their mandate, stand ready to  contribute to this process in line with the Organization's values and  commitments to achieve just, durable, dignified and inclusive peace  in the region."
