Baku. Tamara Grigorieva -APA. "After the Georgian events the OSCE
Minsk Group can’t continue its activity in previous order", said OSCE
Minsk Group US Co-Chair Matthew Bryza, APA reports.
Bryza considers the activity of the OSCE Minsk Group as important. "We
hope that, as Russia fulfills its ceasefire commitments in Georgia, we
will be able to restore fully our cooperation within the Minsk Group"
Bryza said Russia violated the Georgia’s territorial integrity and
invaded into Georgia in August. "It shows that the Minsk Group can’t
provide previous activity, but I think we are on the way return to
restoration of the Minsk Group’s activity. Russia understands that
its actions damage its international image".
"Every time while visiting Azerbaijan the government officials tell me
that they want US to join the settlement of Nagorno Karabakh conflict
at higher level", said Bryza and added that he hoped more active
negotiations within the session of UN General Assembly in New York.
