ArmInfo. "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 that 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.
