RA MFA: Bryza’s statements hamper Karabakh talks

/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The statements made from time to time by OSCE
U.S. Co-chair Matthew Bryza are incomprehensible, the RA Foreign
Ministry said.

`These statements can nothing but hamper the peace process, which
bases on Madrid proposals envisaging three fundamental principles of
resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict: non-use of force, the
right of nations to self-determination and the principle of
territorial integrity,’ said Tigran Balayan, head of the Ministry’s
media relations division.

`Armenia has numerously states that the resolution of the Karabakh
conflict should base on recognition of the NKR people’s right to
self-determination and independence. Talks are underway. No agreement
has been reached thus far. And it’s premature to speak of any now,’
Balayan commented.

In an interview with Voice of America, Ambassador Bryza said
resolution of the Karabakh conflict is not far away and that it’s
based on the principle of territorial integrity. `The right of
nation’s to self-determination and inadmissibility of use of force
should also be fixed in the agreement,’ he said.
