/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The only obstacle for continuation of talks and
success in the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement is the absence
of trust between the peoples, OSCE MG U.S. Co-chair Matthew Bryza
said at a press conference in Yerevan. In his words, the goal of the
current visit has been achieved, since there is readiness to resume
talks. "We do not say that we overcame the obstacles but we noticed
the readiness to move forward," Bryza said.

For his part Yuri Merzlyakov underscored that the resumption of
contacts will proceed on the basis of the documents submitted by the
mediators in May 2006.

According to French Co-chair Bernard Fassier, the Bucharest talks
form the foundation of the talks. "I would like to reiterate that
the parties will fail to come to an agreement without mediation," he
said. He also remarked that the Azeri press misrepresented his words
in Baku. "I did not say anything about NKR’s participation in the
talks. In general, media was inaccurate in quoting," Mr Fassier said.
