U.S. Co-Chair of the OSCE Minsk Group Mathew Bryza says it is possible
to sign an accord on non-use of force in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

"Of course, it is possible and the principle of non-use of force is
a central issue of the work of the co-chairs of OSCE Minsk Group. We
are trying to find ways of to implement it in the negotiations,"
Bryza told a news conference in Yerevan on July 8.

French co-chair Bernard Fassier said the Moscow Declaration reflects
agreement by the parties to the conflict to resolve the conflict via
negotiations and principles of international law.

"We have said many times that the war is not an option, because it
solves nothing," Fassier said.

The French co-chairman noted that currently the mediators are working
on a document that combined all principles (non-use of force, right to
self-determination and territorial integrity), because the prevalence
of one of them will not lead to resolution of the conflict.
