“I do not believe talks between presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan in Rambouillet may be considered as failure. Also, I do not think, that the talks reached a deadlock and necessity to change negotiating format is imminent, because OSCE Minsk Group has exhausted its abilities,” stated yesterday adviser to US State Department under-Secretary on Europe and Eurasia Matthew Bryza.
As a REGNUM correspondent in Yerevan informs, Bryza believes, that parties of Karabakh conflict are “very close to settlement, but they should make several most difficult steps.” “Those questions, which stayed uncoordinated, are most difficult ones and they need formulation of clear position from the both heads of states,” the American diplomat stressed. “If heads of Armenia and Azerbaijan fix accurate deadlines to achieve the agreement, the USA, in its turn, will render maximum assistance to solve the problem,” stated Matthew Bryza.
At the same time, the adviser to US State Department under-Secretary practically refute information, that official Washington is going to recall its ambassador in Yerevan John Evans, because of his statements concerning international acknowledgement of Armenian Genocide in Ottoman Turkey in the beginning of last century. Additionally, Matthew Bryza expressed his anxiety about destruction of Armenian cultural heritage in Nakhichevan (Azerbaijan). “Events, happening in Nakhichevan, are awful tragedy and we focus our attention on them,” stated he, stressing that Washington brings its anxiety to the notice of the Azerbaijani authorities.
