NKR President Arkady Ghukasyan received today the OSCE Minsk Group
Co-Chairs. During the meeting the parties discussed the current stage
and perspectives of the Karabakh conflict settlement.

"The atmosphere of the meeting was wonderful, and we are very grateful
to Arkady Ghukasyan. We noted during the conversation that we feel
obliged to the President: for a long time we had not arrived in
Stepanakert with this staff to exchange views with him. It was
necessary, and that is why we are here. We had a very detailed
and substantial conversation. We discussed the current stage and
perspectives of settlement. I think the meeting was useful for both
Arkady Ghukasyan and us. We exchanged views and tried to come to
common conclusions on a number of questions. It’s worth mentioning
that there exists a common opinion," said Russian Co-Chair of the
OSCE Minsk Group Yuri Merzlyakov, ArmInfo correspondent informs from
Stepanakert. The mediator refused to disclose the details of the
talks on the settlement of the Karabakh conflict, referring to the
confidentiality of the negotiations.

Let us remind that the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs visited Stepanakert
as part of their regional visit.

Tonight the Co-Chairs will arrive in Yerevan.
