    Yerevan (Yerkir) - OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs Matthew Bryza (USA),
    Bernard Fassier (France) and Yuri Merzlyakov (Russia) discussed the
    settlement of the Nagornyy Karabakh conflict with Karabakh leader
    Bako Sahakyan in Stepanakert on 28 February. The meeting lasted for
    over three hours. The details of the talks have not disclosed.

    A wide range of issues related to the conflict settlement was
    discussed.

    "Bako Sahakyan stressed that without restoring the full format of
    the talks and without a full-fledged participation of the Nagornyy
    Karabakh republic, it would be impossible to reach a comprehensive
    settlement of the conflict.

    The co-chairs too said that the agreement and the participation of the
    Karabakh people are necessary for a final settlement of the conflict,"
    a statement by the NKR presidential staff says. Sahakyan also spoke
    of the anti-Armenian and belligerent propaganda of Azerbaijan.

    According to Russian mediator Yuri Merzlyakov, the mediators had
    spoke of "the new opportunities we saw following the results of the
    latest meeting of the Azerbaijani and Armenian presidents." Answering
    a question on the possible settlement of the conflict in 2009, Yuri
    Merzlyakov said it is difficult to make predictions. "I always say that
    objective conditions to reach a settlement of the conflict are there
    and the subjective ones don't seem to be present yet," Merzlyakov said.

    The mediators will meet with the Armenian leadership in Yerevan today.
