    CO-CHAIRMEN'S VISIT

    Azat Artsakh Daily,
    30 June 08
    Republic of Nagorno Karabakh [NKR]

    On June 28, NKR President Bako Sahakian met with OSCE Minsk Group
    co-chairmen Matthew Bryza (the USA), Yuri Merzlyakov (Russia) and
    Bernard Fassier (France), who had arrived in Stepanakert the same
    day. A wide range of issues concerning the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict
    settlement was discussed during the meeting. Bako Sahakin emphasized
    that the final solution to the problem is impossible without Karabakh's
    participation in the negotiation process. The Head of the state noted
    that Azerbaijan's anti-Armenian propaganda and bellicose rhetoric
    don't promote the formation of an atmosphere of mutual confidence and
    affect the negotiation process and maintenance of peace and stability
    in the region as well. The hostilities provoked by the Azerbaijani
    armed forces in the Martakert region on March 4 illustrate it. The NKR
    President again noted that official Stepanakert is for exclusively
    peaceful settlement of the conflict and establishment of a direct
    dialogue with Baku. Bako Sahakian noted that the NK conflict should
    be settled within the OSCE Minsk group framework and Azerbaijan's
    attempts to transfer it to other instances do not further the conflict
    settlement. The co-chairmen shared the President's viewpoint. They
    also expressed their readiness to assist the peaceful settlement of
    the conflict and noted that NKR's participation in the negotiation
    process is a question of time. NKR Foreign Minister Georgy Petrossian
    and Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office Andrzej
    Kasprzyk attended the meeting.
