Bryza: "Karabakh Talks Potential Not Exhausted"
"OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs are looking forward to initiatives of the parties to the Nagorno Karabakh conflict," OSCE MG American co-chair Matthew Bryza stated in Turkey. He said that he didn't publicize the elements of negotiations without prior agreement of the conflicting sides. "It was the decision of the co-chairs," Bryza noted.

He said he presented only some of the elements for public discussion: "We expect the reaction of the Presidents. However, I state that talks still have not run out of potential. We expect directions from the Presidents, they should show us in what direction we should work." The American co-chair did not rule out discussion of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict at the G8 summit to be held in Saint Petersburg. He stressed that the time of Azerbaijani and Armenian Presidents meeting has not been decided yet, Azeri-Press reports.
