Bryza describes Caucasus Stability & Cooperation Pact constructive
U.S. Co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group Matthew Bryza described Turkey's Caucasus Stability & Cooperation Pact.
"I welcome the efforts for normalization of the Armenian-Turkish relations. The Presidents of Turkey and Armenia took a political risk and manifested courage. However, despite the Turkish-Armenian activation, the work at Basic Principles on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict resolution should be completed," he said.
Turkey's President Abdullah Gul was in Yerevan on Sept. 6 to watch a World Cup qualifier between the Armenian and Turkish national teams. Before the match, the heads of state discussed possibilities to normalize bilateral relations. They also referred to the Caucasus Stability and Cooperation Platform meant to bring together Armenia, Turkey, Georgia and Russia. President Sarsgyan welcomed the initiative as an attempt to create a favorable atmosphere in the region.
Yesterday, Gul formally invited his Armenian counterpart Serzh Sargsyan to Istanbul to watch a return match.
