The American co-chairman of the Minsk Group, an Organization for
Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE)

Body mediating in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, urged the Group on
Tuesday to speed up its work.

The co-chairman, Matthew Bryza, told reporters in Baku that Armenia
and Azerbaijan now want major progress toward a settlement and that
this means the Minsk Group should step up its efforts.

Bryza expressed full support for Baku’s position of seeking
Nagorno-Karabakh’s reintegration into Azerbaijan but said the Group
was looking for a compromise between the principle of territorial
integrity and the right to self-determination.
