OSCE Minsk Group co-chair of US Matthew Bruza hopes for continuation
of cooperation with Russia in the resolution of Karabakh conflict,
despite the current differences between Washington and Moscow.

"We have many problems in what is connected with our relations with
Russia now. But I think, as regards the Minsk Group, these difficulties
will be eliminated", Matthew Bryza told reporters.

In this connection, the diplomat spoke for Russia to adhere to the
regulation of an agreement on ceasefire in Georgia, developed with
French President.

Matthew Bryza said the OSCE Minsk Group has made huge work in the
sphere of the Karabakh conflict and voiced hope for the further
cooperation with Russia in this direction.

The diplomat did not rule out the possible use of "additional
principles of international law" in the resolution of the Karabakh
conflict, but he noted that the principle of the territorial integrity
of Azerbaijan is a basis in the problem resolution.
