APAâ€™s Karabakh bureau reports that head of the delegation Ilkka Kanerva, group members Hannu Takkula, Yaakko Laakso and Mrs. Sirrka-Liza Anttila became familiar with the living conditions of Azerbaijani families who had to live their homes as a result of Armenian occupation and live now in the IDP settlement.

Kanerva said that the purpose of their visit was to be witness of everything: â€œWe felt that the situation was painful here. All over the world have to know the details of situation here. The purpose of our visit was to see peopleâ€™s troubles and difficultiesâ€.

Making comments on the activities of the OSCE Minsk Group, Ilkka Kanerva noted that â€œeverybody has to do best for peaceful and just settlement of Karabakh conflictâ€. â€œWe could not settle everything in a moment. Finland does its best for assessment of existing opportunities and the settlement of the problem. I would like to say the peaceful settlement of the war must be searched not only by the OSCE Minsk Group, but by all sides and international community as wellâ€.

After the meeting the guests watched composition-spectacle about the war performed by actors of Agdam Drama Theater.
