On March 27 the Defense Minister of Armenia, Seyran Ohanyan, received
the delegation headed by US Co-Chair of the OSCE Minsk Group Robert
Bradtke. US Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to Armenia
Marie Yovanovitch was present at the meeting.
Greeting the guests, Seyran Ohanyan expressed gratitude to Robert
Bradtke for his activity as Co-Chair of the Minsk Group.
Touching upon the Karabakh conflict settlement, Seyran Ohanyan
underlined that negotiations were the only option for the settlement
of the issue, while the constant bellicose statements from Azerbaijan
only create a strained atmosphere in the region, thus hindering the
settlement process.
The Defense Minister voiced hope that a solution acceptable to both
parties would be found within the framework of the OSCE Minsk Group.
The parties stated that linking the Karabakh settlement to the
Armenian-Turkish normalization was unacceptable.
