NKR president: Baku’s destructive policy hinders conflict resolution

President of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic Bako Sahakian met with the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office, Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Leonid Kozhara. The meeting took place in Yerevan.

The sides discussed a number of issues related to the settlement of the Azerbaijani-Karabakh conflict, according to the presidential press service. President Sahakian underlined official Stepanakert’s commitment to a peaceful resolution of the conflict within the framework of the OSCE Minsk Group. He stressed the necessity of restoring the negotiating format approved at the Budapest summit of the OSCE, adding that it is impossible to reach a comprehensive resolution without direct participation of the NKR.

In the words of Bako Sahakian, official Baku’s destructive policy which is becoming more dangerous over time is the main obstacle to the Azerbaijani-Karabakh conflict settlement. He added that Baku’s position should receive the appropriate assessment of the international community.

Foreign Minister of the NKR Karen Mirzoyan, Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office Andrzej Kasprzyk, other officials were present at the meeting.
