ArmInfo. On January 17, President of Nagorno Karabakh Bako Sahakyan
received American co-chair of the OSCE Minsk group Robert Bradtke and
accompanying him officials who arrived in Stepanakert on the same day.
As Central Information Department of the NKR presidential office
told ArmInfo, issues related to the current stage and prospects of
the Azerbaijani-Karabakh conflict settlement were discussed at the
meeting. President Sahakyan underlined 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 the Head
of the State noted that Azerbaijan should refuse from 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 of the conflict is absolutely unacceptable.
The Armenian-Turkish relations were discussed at the meeting too. It
was mentioned that the Armenian-Turkish and Azerbaijani-Karabakh
relations were separate and unrelated processes.
