On March 16, President of the Republic of Artsakh Bako Sahakyan received the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs, ambassadors Robert Bradtke of the U.S., Igor Popov of Russia and Bernard Fassier of France, as well as personal representative of the OSCE chairman-in-office Andrzej Kasprzyk.

The Karabakh conflict settlement was in the focus of the meeting.

The parties noted that a military resolution of the conflict is absolutely unacceptable. Sahakyan welcomed the willingness of the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs to elaborate mechanisms for revealing the cases of the ceasefire violation.

The President once again drew the negotiators' attention to the destructive stance of Baku and urged to use all means possible for changing it. According to Sahakyan, no progress will be observed in the Karabakh conflict resolution, unless Baku changes its stance.

NKR Foreign Minister Georgy Petrosyan and other officials participated in the meeting, the Central Information Department of the Artsakh President's Office reported.
