January 17, 2010 NKR President Bako Sahakyan received OSCE MG
U.S. Co-Chair Robert Bradtke and accompanying him officials, NKR
Presidential Press Service informed NEWS.am.

Issues on the current stage and prospects of Azerbaijan-Karabakh
conflict were discussed at the meeting.

President Sahakyan outlined that the position of official Stepanakert
on the settlement of relations with Azerbaijan remains unchanged. The
conflict cannot be settled in the absence of a direct dialogue between
Azerbaijan and Artsakh. Within this context, Sahakyan noted Azerbaijan
should refuse non-constructive and aggressive approaches. At the
same time the President underlined that independence and security of
Artsakh are not subjects to any speculations and any attempt to ignore
this will make impossible comprehensive settlement of the conflict.

Robert Bradtke in his turn underlined that any scenario of military
solution to the conflict is absolutely unacceptable.

Armenia-Turkey relations were discussed at the meeting as well. It
was mentioned that Armenia-Turkey and Azerbaijan-Karabakh relations
were separate and unrelated processes.
