Directorate of Information of the presidential administration of
Nagorno-Karabakh said President Bako Saakjan met with OSCE Minsk
Group chairmen Matthew Bryza, Yuri Merzklyakov, and Bernard Fassier.

"They discussed a broad spectrum of issues dealing with
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement. Special attention was focused on
the Moscow declaration signed by presidents of Armenia, Azerbaijan,
and Russia. Saakjan emphasized that Artsakh values any document that
will help with restoration of the dialogue in the conflict settlement
process. He emphasized nevertheless that the process of settlement
cannot be complete without Nagorno-Karabakh’s participation because
it has its own point of view on the matter at hand," the Directorate
of Information reported.

OSCE Minsk Group chairman in their turn confirmed the impossibility of
conflict settlement without Nagorno-Karabakh and its people. Karabakh
Foreign Minister Georgy Petrosjan and OSCE Chairman’s Personal
Representative Andrzei Kaspszyk were present at the meeting too.
