"The scenario of settlement of the Kosovo conflict cannot become a
precedent for resolution of the Karabakh conflict," US Co-Chair of
the OSCE Minsk Group Matthew Bryza told the journalists in Baku.
He said that every conflict in the world has its peculiarities,
therefore one should not draw parallels between the methods of
settlement of these."
Speaking of the opportunities to resolve the conflict this year,
the diplomat noted that "the situation is somehow complex connected
with the parliamentary elections in Armenia and in such situation
it is necessary to demonstrate caution in the attempts to achieve
progress." Nevertheless, he emphasized the optimism on the resolution
of the issue and added that "the political will of the Presidents of
both countries is necessary."
Matthew Bryza informed that "common approaches have been found on
the main components of the peace treaty, but the technical components
are now being discussed."
He found it difficult to answer when the recurrent round of
negotiations between Armenia and Azerbaijan will take place."
