on GUAM frozen conflicts draft

U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian
Affairs, OSCE Minsk Group American co-chair Matthew Bryza doesn’t
object to the initiative by the GUAM countries to consider the frozen
conflicts at the U.N. General Assembly.

He told APA Bureau that the co-chairs’ only concern is that Armenia
can’t present its stance on the GUAM draft resolution [for the
protracted conflicts] because it is not a member of this group.

He said participation of the United States, Russia and France, as UN
members, in voting on the draft might question the neutrality of the
mediators as Armenia doesn’t have a part in this process and this is
a technical problem.

Mr. Bryza, pointing to OSCE fact-finding mission sent to Nagorno
Karabakh, added that any chosen format should satisfy the interests
of the both sides.
