/PanARMENIAN.Net/ President of the Artsakh Republic Bako Sahakyan met
Sunday with Co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group, Ambassadors Robert
Bradtke of the US, Yuri Merzlyakov of the Russian Federation and
Bernard Fassier of France to discuss the current stage and prospects
of the Azerbaijani-Karabakh conflict settlement. The meeting was
also attended by NKR Foreign Minister Georgy Petrosyan and Personal
Representative of the OSCE CiO, Ambassador Andrzej Kasprzyk.
Reiterating that comprehensive settlement of the conflict is
impossible without full-fledged participation of NKR, Mr. Sahakyan
said, "Azerbaijan’s destructive approach and its reluctance to take
confidence-building measures appear as pivotal hindrances to the
conflict settlement."
He also said that independence and security of Artsakh can’t be
questioned and any attempt to recapture the past is pregnant with
unpredictable consequences.
Touching upon normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations, the
President emphasized that this process is not linked to Karabakh
conflict resolution.
