KARABAKH LEADER COMMENTS ON SETTLING CONFLICT
Yerevan, 16 January: The president of the Nagornyy Karabakh republic
[NKR], Bako Sahakyan, said that Azerbaijan's anti-Armenian propaganda
and bellicose statements not only contribute to establishment of an
atmosphere of confidence between the sides but also have an extremely
negative effect on the negotiations process.
Bako Sahakyan said about this on Tuesday [15 January] during the
meeting with the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairmen for the Nagornyy
Karabakh settlement, Matthew Bryza (the USA), Yuriy Merzlyakov
(Russia) and Bernard Fassier (France), the press service of the NKR
president told the Mediamax news agency.
Issues related to a settlement of the Karabakh conflict were
discussed at the meeting. Sahakyan reiterated the importance of
Karabakh's participation in the negotiations process, without which,
according to him, it is impossible to settle the problem.
The leader of the NKR reiterated that official Stepanakert is for a
peaceful settlement of the conflict and for establishment of direct
dialogue with Baku. Sahakyan also noted the importance of monitoring
of the contact line between the NKR and Azerbaijani armed forces by
the OSCE mission as one of the major components of maintaining the
cease-fire, saying that the politization of this issue by Azerbaijan
is impermissible. An agreement was reached at the meeting concerning
a monitoring to be held on 16 January with participation of the
co-chairmen.
In their turn, the international mediators expressed their readiness
to contribute to peaceful settlement of Karabakh conflict and
establishment of peace in the region in every way possible.
