/PanARMENIAN.Net/ I have never said that Nagorno Karabakh will not
take part in the talks. I have never spoken about change of the OSCE
MG format either," OSCE Minsk Group U.S. Co-chair Matthew Bryza told
a news conference in Yerevan.

Nagorno Karabakh has joined the negotiations, according to him. "We
were in Stepanakert yesterday and listened to the opinion of the people
who live there. We do respect this opinion. That is why, we can say
that Nagorno Karabakh participates in the talks," the mediator said.

"Nagorno Karabakh’s representatives were engaged in the negotiations
before. Once, they will re-join the process. And the sooner it happens
the better," said French Co-chair Bernard Fassier adding that change
of format of negotiations is out of question at the moment.
