President Serzh Sargsyan of Armenia and Ilham Aliyev of Azerbaijan may meet to discuss Karabakh settlement in the near future, the OSCE Minsk Group U.S. Co-chair said during the U.S. Helsinki Commission hearing.

Mr Matthew Bryza did not clarify possible terms of the meeting. It's a matter of several months, according to him.

"The Armenian and Azerbaijani Foreign Ministers can meet in a month to arrange presidential talks," the diplomat said. "The situation requires compromise settlement. Use of force is inadmissible."

He disagreed that the OSCE Minsk Group is not efficient. "The MG's work is valuable and useful," he said, ITAR-TASS reports.
