On September 8 President of the Artsakh Republic Bako Sahakyan met
OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs of the Robert Bradtke (USA), Igor Popov
(Russian Federation) and Bernard Fassier (France).
A wide range of issues related to the current stage and prospects of
the Azerbaijani-Karabakh conflict settlement were discussed during
the meeting.
It was mutually noted that any scenario of military solution of the
conflict is absolutely unacceptable. At the same time Bako Sahakyan
underlined that recent frequent violations of the cease-fire regime
by Azerbaijan generate concern and pose a serious threat to regional
peace and stability as well as to the efforts by the OSCE Minsk
group’s co-chairs directed to peaceful settlement of the conflict.
Within this context the Head of the State called upon the co-chairs to
use their potential and bring Azerbaijan into the constructive stream.
Both sides underlined that the Artsakh issue should be settled within
the frameworks of the OSCE Minsk Group and any attempts by Azerbaijan
to transfer the issue into other instances did not contribute to the
settlement of the conflict, the Artsakh Republic president office’s
Central information department reported.
Artsakh Republic foreign minister Georgy Petrosyan and personal
representative of the OSCE chairman-in-office Andrzej Kasprzyk were
present at the talks.
