On the 27th March, 2010 the RA Minister of Defence Seyran Ohanyan received the delegation headed by the US co-chair of the OSCE MG Robert Bradtke. The ambassador of the USA to Armenia Mary Yovanovich was also present.
Greeting the guests Seyran Ohanyan congratulated Robert Bradtke on the active work done as a US co-chair. Talking about the settlement of the Nagorno Kharabakh conflict Seyran Ohanyan underlined that the RA Government see the solution to this issue only through peaceful negotiations, whereas, the periodical threats and the increase of armament in the Azerbaijani side hinder the process creating a tense atmosphere in the region.

The Minister of Defence hoped that in the frames of the OSCE MG a mutually acceptable variant for the conflict settlement will be sought out. The two sides recognized that it is unacceptable to link the peaceful settlement process of the Nagorno Kharabakh conflict to the Armenian-Turkish relations. In order to establish trust in the frontier area Seyran Ohanyan informed that by the decision of the RA President the two Azerbaijani dead bodies found in the territory of Armenia after the March 3 events, and the Azerbaijani captive previously arrested in the RA territory, by the humanitarian initiative of the Armenian side, through the ICRC will be transferred to the Azerbaijani side. During the meeting other matters on regional security were also discussed. RA MoD Department of Information and Public Affairs
