Today, President Serzh Sargsyan received the Co-Chairs of the
OSCE Minsk Group Yuri Merzlyakov (Russia), Matthew Bryza (USA),
Bernard Fassier (France), and the Special Representative of the OSCE
Chairman-in-Office Andrzej Kasprzyk. The Minister of Foreign Affairs
of Armenia Edward Nalbanian also was present at the meeting.

The parties spoke about the meeting of the Presidents of Armenia
and Azerbaijan in Zurich and discussed issues related to the current
stage of the NK peace process. President Sargsyan underscored that
statements and phrasing which run contrary to the logic of the peace
process were not conducive to the peace settlement.

The Co-Chairs informed the President of Armenia on the outcome of
their consultations held in Baku and Stepanakert.

Earlier that day, President Sargsyan received the President of the
Nagorno Karabakh Republic, Bako Sahakian.
