OSCE MG US CO-CHAIR ARRIVES IN YEREVAN

Yerevan, July 29. ArmInfo. OSCE MG US co-chair Matthew Bryza has
arrived in Yerevan today, reports US Embassy in Armenia.

During the visit Bryza will meet with Armenian President Robert
Kocharyan and Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanyan.

Today he will go to the capital Nagorno-Karabkh, Stepanakert, to meet
with NK President Arkady Ghoukassyan. July 30 Bryza will come back to
Yerevan and July 31 he will go to Baku.

This is the first visit of Bryza to Yerevan and Baku as new US
co-chair. Ghoukassyan believes that Bryza’s visit to Nagorno-Karabakh
is very topical as it is impossible to resolve the Karabakh conflict
without restoring the trilateral negotiating format or establishing
direct talks between Nagorno-Karabakh and Azerbaijan. Ghoukassyan says
that everybody understands that NK cannot be part of Azerbaijan any
more and that any solution other than providing NK with de jure
independence is a sure way to war.-0-
