On February 16, President of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic (Artsakh
Republic) Bako Sahakyan met in Yerevan OSCE Chairman-in-office,
State Secretary, Foreign Minister of the Republic of Kazakhstan
Kanat Saudabaev.

Issues related to the settlement of the Azerbaijani-Karabakhi conflict
were discussed during the meeting.

Highly appreciating the OSCE efforts in the Azerbaijani-Karabahki
conflict settlement, the NKR President underlined the necessity of
restoring the negotiation format approved by the OSCE Budapest summit.

He noted that it would be impossible to reach the comprehensive
settlement of the conflict without Nagorno Karabakh Republic’s direct
participation. Bako Sahakyan once again expressed conviction that
the conflict should be settled exclusively by peaceful means, and
that Azerbaijan’s destructive stance is among the main obstacles in
this process.

The President of the Artsakh Republic noted the importance of
visiting Artsakh and acquainting with the country in place by the
OSCE chairman-in-office.

NKR Foreign Minister Georgy Petrosyan took part in the meeting.
