Merzlyakov (Russian Federation) and Bernard Fassier (France), Central
Information Department of the Office of the NKR President reported.

Issues related to the current stage and prospects of the
Azerbaijani-Karabakh conflict settlement were discussed during the
meeting.

of the Artsakh Republic it would be impossible to reach final and
comprehensive settlement of the conflict.

and its denial of mutual confidence initiatives are the pivotal
hindrances on the way of the conflict settlement. The President
underlined that independence and security of Artsakh are not subjects
to any speculations and any attempt to bring back the past are pregnant
with unpredictable consequences.

Sahakyan reiterated Artsakh’s adherence to peaceful settlement of the
conflict within the frameworks of the Minsk Group. The co-chairs also
underlined that any scenario of military solution of the conflict is
absolutely unacceptable.

Touching upon the Armenian-Turkish relations, the President noted
that this process does not have any relations to the settlement of
the Karabakh conflict and attempts to tie up these processes cast
negative impact both processes leading them to an impasse.
