M. Bryza: Armenian and Azeri foreign ministers should not meet so often

PanARMENIAN.Net - A meeting between Azeri and Armenian foreign ministers may take place at the end of February or beginning of March. It depends on their schedule, stated OSCE MG Co-Chair Matthew Bryza. "And generally, they should not meet so often. Main thing is spirit of good during talks. I think it exists. Every time when the sides meet, we see progress. When the ministers met in Moscow and exchanged views, they a little approached in their stances on general principals. It means, that there exists progress and it is impossible to reach more progress without such meetings," he stressed. Asked that the society cannot get enough information about negotiations, the American diplomat stated, "Concrete talks are carried out, but we should not speak about it publicly, since it will lead to politicization of the negotiations. I think, you should trust your ministers."



Alongside Matthew Bryza underlined he does not agree with statements that parliamentary elections in Armenia in 2007 and presidential elections in Armenia and Azerbaijan in 2008 will impede the solution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. "I do not agree with that. I think elections are complex elements of this procedure. But from the other side, talks continue even now. May be the president will not meet till parliamentary elections in Armenia, but the ministers continue the talks," he underscored, 'Trend' reports.
