/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The OSCE Minsk Group is expecting the Presidents of
Armenia and Azerbaijan to make decisions or proposes on the peaceful
settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, OSCE MG U.S. Co-chair
Matthew Bryza said in an interview with Haykakan Zhamanak newspaper. In
his words, the mediators say they cannot go forward without any
decision by the Presidents.
Bryza said the publication of the principles of the Nagorno Karabakh
conflict was the decision by all of three Co-chairs taken before he
assumed the post. Some Armenian forces say I am trying to exert press
on Armenia, he remarked. "It’s impossible. My duty is to explain the
decision taken by the Co-chairs to the people," he said. In his words,
the publication of the settlement principles cannot cause crisis in
any of the conflicting states. "This is a framework agreement and
the consent of the Armenian and Azerbaijani President is essential
for it. I cannot imagine how it can cause change of power, moreover
if the agreement is the consequence of the ongoing process," Bryza
underscored adding that the agreement is not being imposed on any of
the sides in the conflict.
