US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State MATTHEW BRYZA, Co-Chair of the
OSCE Minsk Group, says that he has arrived in Yerevan to have a meeting
with different parties with the purpose of forming an idea about the
current situation, and to address certain messages.
Listening on Television to the Prime Minister’s speech during the
Government session, Bryza yesterday said to S. Sargsyan, `It was what I
expected to hear from you as a result of our meeting, but, to may great
joy, you have already spoken about it.’
According to Mr. Bryza, it is time to eliminate the tension; everybody
should demonstrate responsibility and realize that it is necessary to
restore all the positive achievements Armenia had before the current
situation.
Touching upon the state of emergency declared, Mr. Bryza mentioned that
it cannot, naturally, continue forever, and it is now necessary to
direct all the efforts towards settling the problem; at the same time,
he expressed belief that the state of emergency is really a tool which
allows to relax the tension and return the processes to their regular
course of development. He underscored that it is impossible to move
towards democracy unless there is law and order in the country.
