Unplanned: US diplomat in Armenia discusses Karabakh, Turkish ties
The US co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group, Matthew Bryza, went to
Tbilisi from Baku yesterday [17 April], and without having any
meetings there [in Tbilisi] urgently arrived in Yerevan. However,
Bryza’s visit to Yerevan was not planned.
In Yerevan, Bryza met Armenian Foreign Minister Edvard Nalbandyan and
also representatives of the [opposition] Armenian National Congress
[ANC], including leaders of the People’s Party of Armenia, Armenian
Pan-National Movement and the Republic Party. Issues connected with
the process of negotiations towards Karabakh settlement and
opportunities for normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations were
discussed during the meeting with the Armenian foreign minister, which
was also attended by US ambassador to Armenia Marie Yovanovitch. Apart
from the above-mentioned issues, Bryza discussed with the ANC
representatives issues connected with overcoming the political crisis
in Armenia and release of political prisoners.
