YEREVAN, AUGUST 25, ARMENPRESS. Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh) State Minister Gurgen Nersisyan in a video message on Friday attached importance to holding a meeting with Azerbaijani authorities, but with the participation of a third party.

“I think we should request the Russian Federation, all actors who are interested in the situation, to organize a meeting with Azerbaijan around the current situation, security issues and the disastrous humanitarian situation in Artsakh,” Nersisyan said.

He warned that no one can guarantee the physical security of Artsakh citizens in Azerbaijani territory, thus that meeting could only take place in the base of the Russian peacekeepers in Nagorno-Karabakh or any other safe location in the presence of a third party.
