    THE OSCE MINSK GROUP CO-CHAIRS VISITED THE NKR

    Ministry of Foreign Affairs

    Nagorno-Karabakh Republic

    The OSCE Minsk Group Co-chairs on Nagorno Karabakh conflict
    settlement Yuri Merzlyakov/Russia/, Bernard Fassier/France/ and Robert
    Bradtke/USA/ visited the Nagorno Karabakh Republic within the frames
    of the regional visit.

    The mediators met with the NKR President Bako Sahakyan. A wide range of
    issues related to the settlement of the Azerbaijani-Karabakh conflict
    and regional processes were discussed at the meeting.

    The Head of the State underlined the importance of restoring
    the full-fledged format of negotiations, stating that it would be
    impossible to reach the final settlement of the conflict without full
    participation of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic.

    The President drew the attention of those present to the need of
    activating efforts aimed at strengthening mutual confidence between
    the societies of the conflicting parties. Bako Sahakyan underlined
    that bellicose and aggressive policy of Azerbaijan is one of the most
    important obstacles of the peace process.

    Touching upon the Armenian-Turkish relations, the President noted
    that this process has nothing to do with the settlement of the
    Azerbaijani-Karabakh conflict and welcomed the Minsk group co-chairs'
    analogous statement.

    NKR Minister of Foreign Affairs Georgy Petrosyan and Personal
    Representative of the OSCE chairman-in-office Andrzej Kasprzyk were
    pre sent at the meeting.

    After the meeting with the President, the OSCE Minsk Group Russian
    co-chair Yuri Merzlyakov told the journalists, that Nagorno Karabakh
    would by all means take part in the works on the adoption of basic
    documents on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement. The US
    newly-appointed co-chair Robert Bradtke underlined the importance
    of acquaintance with the real situation in the NKR and with the
    opinion of its leadership. At the same time, he noted that though
    he is only on the way of getting acquainted with Nagorno Karabakh,
    he has distinct positions on certain issues.

    "One point is absolutely obvious: peaceful settlement can not be
    reached without taking into account the Nagorno Karabakh people's
    opinion", Robert Bradtke underlined.
