Karabakh leader complains about Azerbaijan’s steps to OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs

YEREVAN. Oct 22

Some of Azerbaijan’s activities obstruct the settlement of the
conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh, says Bako Saakian, the president of
the unrecognized republic.

“Nagorno-Karabakh President Saakian said at a meeting with the
co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group for settling the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict that Azerbaijan is continuing anti-Armenian and anti-Karabakh
propaganda, grossly violating the ceasefire agreements, and is
continuing to arm, which considerably obstructs the settlement of the
conflict and the maintenance of regional and international security,”
the Nagorno-Karabakh presidential press service told Interfax on
Saturday.

“Bringing Azerbaijan to a constructive framework is among the most
important goals of settling the conflict,” he said.

To achieve significant progress in the negotiating process on
Nagorno-Karabakh, the parties should seek to build an atmosphere of
mutual trust and take the necessary steps in this direction, he said.
