YEREVAN, JANUARY 16, NOYAN TAPAN. On January 15, NKR President Bako
Sahakian met with the OSCE Minsk Group Co-chairs, Matthew Bryza
(U.S.), Yuri Merzliakov (Russia), and Bernard Fassier (France), who
arrived in Stepanakert the same day. As Noyan Tapan was informed by
the Chief Information Department of NKR President's Administration,
a number of issues concerning the Nagorno Karabakh settlement were
discussed during the meeting.
B. Sahakian emphasized the necessity of NKR's participation in the
negotiations process, without which it is impossible to solve that
problem.
He also said that the anti-Armenian propaganda and bellicose
statements in Azerbaijan not only fail to contribute to formation of
an atmosphere of mutual confidence between the parties, but also have
a very negative impact on the negotiations process. The NKR President
once more stressed that official Stepanakert is for conflict's peaceful
settlement and establishment of a direct dialogue with Baku.
B. Sahakian attached a special importance to the monitorings of the
OSCE mission on the NKR and Azeri armed forces' contact-line as one
of the main components of preservation of ceasefire, considering
impermissible politicization and speculation of that issue in
Azerbaijan.
The Co-chairs, in their turn, expressed readiness to as far as possible
support the peaceful settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict,
as well as establishment of stability in the region sharing the
NKR President's position on NKR's participation in the negotiations
process.
