The Vienna meeting between Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev is a good sign from a diplomatic point of view  towards the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. This opinion  was expressed by former US ambassador to Azerbaijan, ex-co-chairman  of the OSCE Minsk Group (MG) Matthew Bryza.

"In fact, it is positive that both leaders reiterated their call to  strengthen the cease-fire along the line of contact of the troops and  create an environment conducive to peace," he told Trend.Bryza noted  that these steps are encouraging signs that the two leaders are  building constructive personal relationships, step by step, which is  a prerequisite for making the difficult decisions necessary to  complete the development of a framework for a peace agreement.
