Armenian Foreign Minister Zohrab Mnatsakanyan today, in Moscow, met with OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs Igor Popov (Russia), Andrew Schofer (USA), as well as Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office Andrzej Kasprzyk.

French Co-Chair Stéphane Visconti participated by an internet hook-up.

Mnatysakanyan and the Co-Chairs discussed the operative situation in the Nagorno Karabakh conflict zone, this according to a statement released by the Armenian Foreign Ministry.

Mnatsakanyan stressed that despite the joint statement at the ministerial level on the ceasefire on October 10, Azerbaijan continues large-scale military operations and the deliberate targeting of civilian infrastructure.

Mnatsakanyan emphasized the need to introduce on-site verification systems as a possible way to cease fire and strengthen that regime.

The sides summed up the work done so far in the framework of the peace process.
