On November 15 the NKR President Bako Sahakyan met with the OSCE Minsk
Group co-chairs Matthew Bryza, Yuri Merzlyakov, Bernard Fassier and
the persons accompanying them. During the meeting they discussed a
wide range of issues concerning the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict. The recent declaration signed by the presidents of Armenia,
Azerbaijan and Russia on November 2 was underscored.

Bako Sahakyan underlined that in Artsakh they appreciate every
document which may have a positive role in establishing a civilized
dialogue in the process of settlement. He also said that the process
of settlement cannot be complete unless Nagorno-Karabakh Republic
participates, especially considering that Artsakh has its own stance
on the settlement of the conflict.

For their part, the co-chairs reasserted that it is impossible to
resolve the conflict without the agreement and participation of
Nagorno-Karabakh and its public.

The NKR foreign minister Georgy Petrosyan and the personal
representative of the OSCE CiO Andrzej Kasprzyk were also present at
the meeting.
