HELSINKI, DECEMBER 4, NOYAN TAPAN. Commenting on the December 3
negotiations between the foreign ministers of Armenia and Azerbaijan
in Helsinki, the U.S. Co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group Matthew Bryza
said that he noticed progress in negotiations, although there are
still differences between the sides. In his words, the only way of
overcoming these differences is to continue negotiations.
According to Mediamax news agency, Matthew Bryza stated that the first
point of the peace agreement should be on territorial integrity of
Azerbaijan. He added that however, the agreement cannot be established
unless it has points on some degree of self-determination of Nagorno
Karabakh and nonuse of force, and all these principles should be
included in the agreement.
