Well, we understand that there are - there may have been a refusal of access to an OSCE representative; would refer you to the OSCE for further details on that, Jeff Rathke, Director of the Office of Press Relations of the US Department of State, said during a daily press briefing, when asked about the OSCE's inability to visit the crash site of the Armenian helicopter that was shot down Azeris on Nov 12.
"We - our position on the helicopter shoot-down remains, though. We think that it's a reminder of the need for all sides to redouble efforts on a peaceful resolution to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. I don't have anything beyond that," Rathke added.
Meanwhile, the Armenians are still able to find out what has happened to the crew of the shot-down helicopter because the Azeris keep firing at the site. Nor have they given any security guarantees to OSCE observers wishing to monitor the area.
To remind, the Azeri armed forces downed an Armenian Mi-24 while it was conducting a training flight near the Line on Contact on 12 November. Three officers of the NKR Armed Forces, Sergey Sahakyan, Sargis Nazaryan and Azat Sahakyan, were on board. The NKR State Committee for POWs, Captives and the Missing has requested the ICRC assistance in returning the crewmembers of the downed helicopter. The Azeri officer that shot the helicopter down has been awarded a medal.
