Bryza: Armenian, Azerbaijani Presidents' attitude to Karabakh issue changed to better

PanARMENIAN.Net - The current regional visit of the OSCE Minsk Group Co-chairs proves efficient, the U.S. mediator said.



"Of course, we wish the talks were at the final stage but it's still a long way off. Anyway, the Moscow declaration on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict inspires hope. The attitude of the Armenia and Azerbaijani Presidents toward the process has changed to the better," Ambassador Matthew Bryza said, adding that it's important for the sides to refrain from moves which could hamper the peaceful dialogue.



As to the distortion of his statements by the Azeri media, Ambassador Bryza advised to listen to the audio posted at the website of the U.S. Embassy in Baku. "You will hear what I said," he said.



During the November 2 meeting, the Presidents Dmitry Medvedev of Russia, Serzh Sargsyan of Armenia and Ilham Aliyev of Azerbaijan signed a declaration envisaging resolution of the Karabakh conflict on the basis of principles and norms of the international law.
