BAKU, APRIL 16, ARMENPRESS: The U.S. cochairman of the OSCE Minsk
Group, Mathew Bryza, praised Azerbaijan for ‘display of constructive
approach.’ In an interview with Azerbaijani ANS TV Bryza said the
official Baku’s announcement that it is awaiting new proposals of the
peace brokers was the evidence of its constructive approach towards
the resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

The remarks were made by Azeri foreign minister Elmar Mamedyarov when
he was asked about when he was likely to meet with his new Armenian
counterpart Edward Nalbandian.

Speaking to reports in Baku on Tuesday Mamedyarov said Azerbaijan
will define its future steps after the meeting of the Minsk Group
cochairmen with the OSCE chairman- in-office in Vienna.
