Matthew Bryza, US co-chairman of the OSCE Minsk Group for resolution
of the Karabakh conflict, said in Bucharest that there is currently
no need to change the format of Karabakh conflict resolution, the
press service for the government reported.
"There is the only format of Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement
and this is the OSCE Minsk Group and there is no need to change the
format of talks today. I think the process is advancing", Bryza said
during the meeting with Serzh Sarkisyann, newly elected president of
Armenia, taking part in the NATO summit in the Romanian capital.
M.Bryza noted that the negotiation process will continue in the
future. "We are familiar with the newly elected president of Armenia,
we know him and we know that we will be able to continue talks with
him. The point is that after inauguration of the Armenian Presidents,
the heads of the two countries will be able to meet and communicate.
We are looking forward for such an opportunity", the US co-chairman
said.
Speaking about Azerbaijan’s stiff position as to the continuation
of talks on the peaceful resolution of the Karabakh conflict, the
US co-chairman said he considers that Azerbaijan is also ready for
continuation of the process despite existing complicated moments.
He voiced confidence that the talks will continue and hope that they
will soon be completed.
"The talks have been resumed today and we should advance forward step
by step", M.Bryza noted.
