On 22 November President of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic Bako
Sahakyan received co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group Robert Bradtke
(USA), Igor Popov (Russia) and Jacques Faure (France), who arrived
in Stepanakert the day before, Central Information Department of the
Office of the NKR President reported.
Issues related to the Azerbaijani-Karabakh conflict settlement and
the latest regional developments were discussed during the meeting.
Bako Sahakyan said the glorification of the criminal who perfidiously
decapitated the Armenian officer, politicization of humanitarian
issues, militaristic and terrorist rhetoric of Azerbaijan is
unacceptable, adding that it was one of the most serious blows to
the negotiation process.
Within this context the President urged the mediators to take
appropriate measures to bring Azerbaijan to a constructive path.
President Sahakyan once again underlined that official Stepanakert
favors peaceful settlement of the conflict, restoration of the full
format of the negotiation process under the auspices of the OSCE
Minsk Group.
Bako Sahakyan reiterated that the conflict settlement will be possible
only when the reality is taken into consideration, when efforts are
concentrated on the causes rather than consequences, noting that any
attempt to return to the past is doomed to failure.
NKR Foreign Minister Karen Mirzoyan, Personal Representative of the
OSCE Chairman-in-Office, Ambassador Andrzej Kasprzyk, other officials
were present at the meeting.
