INITIATIVE TO INCLUDE KARABAKH IN TALKS IS WRONG – FORMER US AMBASSADOR TO AZERBAIJAN

The Armenian initiative to include the Nagorno-Karabakh representatives
in the talks is wrong.
Matthew Bryza, former US Co-Chair of the OSCE Minsk Group and ex-US
ambassador to Azerbaijan, stated the aforementioned at the NATO
Parliamentary Assembly Rose-Roth Seminar, which is held in the
Azerbaijani capital city Baku, Haqqin.az reported.
“We cannot wait in the Karabakh conflict matter, since it inhibits
important regional projects and threatens to become the forty-year-old
Cyprus problem,” Bryza specifically noted.
In his words, Russia, whose objective is to achieve a regional
imbalance, is a destabilizing factor in the South Caucasus.
Matthew Bryza also stated that Russia, along with Iran, “puts pressure”
on Azerbaijan, in an attempt to distance it from the European
integration processes and European values.
