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 Sahakian emphasized that the final solution to the problem was
impossible without Karabakh's participation in the negotiation process.
The Head of the state noted that Azerbaijan's anti-Armenian propaganda
and bellicose rhetoric didn't promote the formation of an atmosphere of
mutual confidence and affected 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.
NKR President again noted that official Stepanakert was 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 did 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 was a
question of time.
NKR Foreign Minister Georgy Petrossian and Personal Representative
of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office Andrzey Kasprzyk attended the meeting,
