While meeting Sahakian, the two discussed the latest developments in the Karabakh conflict resolution process.

The permanent representative of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office, Ambassador Andrzej Kasprzyk and Artsakh Foreign minister, Masis Mayilian.

Mayilian described the situation on the border between Artsakh and Azerbaijan, also referred to as the line of contact, as relatively calm, but pointed to several violations of the ceasefire by Azerbaijan since the beginning of the year.

Mayilian welcomed the agreement in principle to expand the Office of the Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office reached in Krakow, expressing hope that the implementation of the agreements would increase the monitoring capabilities of the Office, since without the establishment of mechanisms for investigating incidents and preventing their recurrence the situation may change at any moment.
