Baku, Azerbaijan, June 9
Trend:
Azerbaijan's decision to close the OSCE coordinator's office in the country is quite justifiable, Russia's permanent representative to the OSCE Andrey Kelin said.
"We believe that this step taken by Azerbaijan is justifiable, since the country has the right to decide which assistance it wants to get from the OSCE," TASS quoted Kelin as saying.
During the meeting of the OSCE Permanent Council June 8, Azerbaijan informed the OSCE Secretariat in Europe about the decision to close the OSCE coordinator's office in the country.
