On 15 July President of Nagorno-Karabakh Republic Bako Sahakyan met in Yerevan OSCE chairman-in-office, Ukrainian foreign minister Leonid Kozhara.
The press service of the NKR President reports that a number of issues related to the Azerbaijani-Karabakh conflict settlement and regional trends were discussed during the meeting.
In his speech Sahakyan noted that official Stepanakert opted for peaceful settlement of the Azerbaijani-Karabakh conflict within the frameworks of the OSCE Minsk Group.
The NKR President underlined the necessity of restoring the negotiation format approved by the OSCE Budapest Summit, adding that it would be impossible to reach a comprehensive settlement of the conflict without NKR's direct participation.
Sahakyan considered official Baku's destructive policy as the most important hindrances on the way of solving the Azerbaijani- Karabakh conflict, which gradually becomes more dangerous and should receive corresponding reaction of the international community.
NKR Foreign Minister Karen Mirzoyan, Personal Representative of the OSCE chairman-in-office Andrzej Kasprzyk and other officials were present at the meeting.
