YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 17, NOYAN TAPAN. There cannot be an agreement
on settlement of the Karabakh conflict without the consent of the
Karabakh people, Matthew Bryza, the U.S. Co-Chair of the OSCE Minsk
Group, told the correspondent of Armenia’s Public Television Company
in Stepanakert. The Russian Co-Chair of the OSCE Minsk Group Yuri
Merzlyakov in his turn added that "moreover, there cannot be an
agreement without its preparation with the participation of Nagorno
