Bako Sahakian: NKR security in all its manifestations cannot be speculated

PanARMENIAN.Net - On January 15, the Co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group on Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement, Bernard Fassier (France), Matthew Bryza (U.S.) and Yury Merzlyakov (Russia) arrived in Stepanakert to meet with NKR President Bako Sahakian.



"Today, we again confirmed our adherence to a peaceful solution to the problem subjecting to criticism the bellicose statements of Azerbaijan's political leadership which cannot further the conflict settlement", the NKR President said after his meeting with the mediators.



The President noted that though the details were not discussed the essence of the issue had not changed.



"Our position has undergone no changes. It implies that security of Nagorno Karabakh in all its manifestations cannot be speculated", Bako Sahakian said. At that he emphasized the Karabakhi side's interest in frequent meetings with the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs.



"Each meeting is significant and conveys a new impulse to the negotiations. We informed the MG co-chairmen of the necessity to call on Stepanakert in the framework of their regional visit", the NKR President said.



Asked if he is satisfied with the meeting with the Co-chairs, Mr Sahakian said, "We will be satisfied when the problem is finally resolved, i.e. when independence of Nagorno Karabakh is recognized. Participation of NKR in the talks as a full-fledged part will be a turning point. Only then the issue will be brought to its logical end," the NKR MFA press office reports.
