The Presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan Serzh Sargsyan and Ilham
Aliyev met in Munich on November 22. The Munich meeting was the six
this year within the framework of the process of negotiations on the
settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict.

The Co-Chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group, Yuri Merzlyakov (Russia),
Bernard Fassier (France) and Robert Bradtke (USA), the Personal
Representative of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office, Andrzej Kasprzyk, as
well as the Foreign Ministers of the two countries, Edward Nalbandian
and Elmar Mammadyarov participated in the meeting. The talks later
continued face-to face.

During the meeting at the French Consulate that lasted about four
hours the parties continued the discussion of issues related to the
peaceful and comprehensive settlement of the Karabakh conflict.

The Presidents instructed their foreign ministers to continue working
with the Co-Chairs on these matters. As a next step, the Co-Chairs are
organizing a working session with the two ministers in advance of the
OSCE Ministerial Council, which will take place December 1-2 in Athens.

The Co-Chairs assessed the meeting as constructive and emphasized
that there was no military solution to the Karabakh issue and there
was no alternative to the negotiations.
