/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenia, Azerbaijan and Turkey have a historical
opportunity to settle relations and establish peace in the region,
MG OSCE US Co-Chair for NKR conflict settlement, Matthew Bryza
stated. According to him, pendency in NKR conflict settlement hampers
economic development in the region.

US diplomat noted that NKR will be given a transitional status, with
final status to be resolved on via referendum. "During referendum, a
balance between RA and Azeri population will be observed in accordance
with last population census," Bryza emphasized.

According to last USSR population census, 75 % of Armenians and 23 %
of Azerbaijanis resided in Nagorno Karabakh Autonomous Region in 1989.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
