    OSCE MEDIATORS VISIT KARABAKH

    OSCE Minsk group co-chairs The OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs, mediating
    a settlement to the conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh, have held talks
    in the disputed territory.

    They arrived in Karabakh today by car from Baku, crossing the
    Armenian-Azerbaijani front line.

    Bako Sahakyan, president of the unrecognized Nagorno-Karabakh republic,
    received OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs Robert Bradtke (USA), Igor Popov
    (Russian Federation) and Bernard Fassier (France), Public Radio of
    Armenia reports.

    They discussed a wide range of issues related to the Karabakh conflict
    settlement.

    The parties said that any military solution to the conflict was
    absolutely unacceptable.

    Bako Sahakyan said that recent frequent violations of the cease-fire
    regime by Azerbaijan caused concern and posed a serious threat to
    regional peace and stability and to the OSCE Minsk Group's efforts
    to find a peaceful settlement, according to Public Radio of Armenia.

    Sahakyan urged the co-chairs to bring Azerbaijan into a "constructive
    field".

    Azerbaijan says that recent exchanges of fire and clashes on the
    contact line separating Armenian and Azerbaijani forces have been
    provoked by Armenia.

    Bako Sahakyan and the Minsk Group co-chairs said that the Karabakh
    issue should be settled within the framework of the OSCE Minsk Group
    and that any attempt by Azerbaijan to transfer the issue to other
    instances would not contribute to the settlement of the conflict.

    This was presumably an indirect reference to a resolution on the
    conflict tabled by Azerbaijan at the forthcoming UN General Assembly.
