It is impossible that a document on the settlement of the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict be created without the participation of the
Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh (NKR), President of NKR Bako Sahakyan
said at a meeting with OSCE Chairperson-in-Office and Foreign Minister
of Kazakhstan Kanat Saudabayev in Yerevan.

According to Sahakyan, the renewed Madrid Principles and any document
that is being designed without NKR’s participation will run counter
to the negotiation process, since they require NKR’s participation
in preparing such documents.

While speaking about Azerbaijan’s bellicose statements, the NKR
President said they are a new type and form of terrorism, adding that
the international community isn’t taking any step to prevent them.

"We hope that the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office, within his power, will
make the necessary efforts, which can bring Azerbaijan to a more
constructive position and which will contribute only to the logical
development of the negotiation process," said Sahakyan.

The NKR President also attached importance to the fact that
international organizations should pay visits to Nagorno-Karabakh.

Sahakyan mentioned that he has suggested to the OSCE
Chairperson-in-Office that he also visit the capital of NKR,
Stepanakert, when making regional visits. Otherwise, according to
Sahakyan, the visits the representatives of international organizations
make in the region, but not to Stepanakert, cannot be effective for
the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement.
