“The US backs the principle of territorial integrity, but at the
same time we believe in the right of self-determination of peoples,
declared Matthew Bryza, US Co-Chair of the OSCE Minsk Group.
“The US stands for the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan. We
advocate also the territorial integrity of Georgia in the Abkhazian and
South-Ossetian conflicts, as well as that of Moldova in the conflict
of Transniestria.
Simultaneously, we believe in the right for self-determination of
peoples. In case of the conflicts in Karabakh and Georgia these two
principles are contradicting each other,” Matthew Bryza declared.
“It is just in such cases that diplomacy and international mediation
are necessary. The mission of the OSCE Minsk Group is to find ways of
matching these two disparate principles,” the American diplomat noted.
Matthew Bryza declared also that he will visit Azerbaijan, Armenia
and Nagorno-Karabakh later in July.
