July 2 the Nagorno Karabakh Republic President Arkady Ghoukasyan
received the OSCE Chair-in-Office’s Personal Representative Andrzey
Kasprzyk.

According to the information DE FACTO got at the NKR President’s Press
Service, in the course of the meeting the parties had discussed a
number of issues referring to the Karabakh conflict settlement and the
situation along the Nagorno Karabakh and Azeri Armed Forces’ contact
line. The interlocutors touched upon the information circulated by
the Azeri party, according to which the Karabakh party, allegedly,
set fire to the populated localities near the contact line.

The NKR President noted the Azeri party’s attempts to mislead the
international instances did not contribute to the establishment of
mutual trust between the conflict parties’ societies.
