The meeting of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office with the president of NKR Arkady Ghukassian took place in Yerevan, at the legation of the Republic of Nagorno Karabakh. The president presented to Dimitrij Rupel the standpoint of Nagorno Karabakh on the settlement of the conflict and mentioned that negotiations without Karabakh will not result in the settlement of the problem. By the way, immediately after the meeting with the NKR president Dimitrij Rupel informed the journalists that till the end of summer there is an opportunity for Nagorno Karabakh to become involved in the talks. After the meeting Arkady Ghukassian and Dimitrij Rupel declared that it is necessary to create an atmosphere of mutual confidence. According to the NKR president, there is little time left till summer, and steps must be taken to provide an atmosphere of mutual confidence without which it will be impossible to reach an agreement on the matter. During the meeting the situation at the front line between the armed forces of Karabakh and Azerbaijan was discussed. The situation aggravated after the armed forces of Azerbaijan had attempted to place their posts closer to the frontier. Dmitry Rubel expressed anxiety about the situation at the border. President Ghukassian proposed that the OSCE Chairman-in-Office study the present situation to find out who breaks the ceasefire. According to the president of NKR, the tensions at the border are first of all caused by Azerbaijan which attempts to solve their home political problems trying to convince the opposition that they are ready for war, and second, it is blackmail against the international community. Azerbaijan seeks to persuade the international community that the problem must be solved according to the Azerbaijani scenario otherwise Azerbaijan will start war. «This is blackmail, this is not realistic, and I think that the mediator countries, the international community must be well-aware of this,» said Arkady Ghukassian. According to the NKR president, during the meeting they touched upon the work of the fact-finding mission. Appreciating the work of the fact-finding group, President Ghukassian mentioned that it is very important that they witnessed the situation in Nagorno Karabakh.

The NKR president suggested that the next meeting with Dimitrij Rupel take place in Stepanakert.
