Karabakh conflict

In his interview to Azerbaijani news agencies OSCE MG Co-chair Matthew
Bryza mentioned, "Many aggressive announcements are made by Azerbaijani
side, but I perceive them as an attempt of peaceful settlement. At
the same time those announcements show that Azerbaijan will test every
possible means of pressure to reach the best peaceful agreement. I feel
that the two sides try to conciliate and reach a complete agreement…"

Mr. Bryza also announced that during the visit he saw the sides’
inclination to achieve peace.

He also considered the forecasts of International Crisis Group about
the restart of Karabakh war after 2012 as "speculative".
