Matt Bryza: Karabakh participates in talks actuallySeptember 17, 2007 - 20:53 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - I have never said that Nagorno Karabakh will not take part in the talks. I have never spoken about change of the OSCE MG format either," OSCE Minsk Group U.S. Co-chair Matthew Bryza told a news conference in Yerevan. Nagorno Karabakh has joined the negotiations, according to him. "We were in Stepanakert yesterday and listened to the opinion of the people who live there. We do respect this opinion. That is why, we can say that Nagorno Karabakh participates in the talks," the mediator said. "Nagorno Karabakh's representatives were engaged in the negotiations before. Once, they will re-join the process. And the sooner it happens the better," said French Co-chair Bernard Fassier adding that change of format of negotiations is out of question at the moment.
