Azeri President's statements sound positive?

PanARMENIAN.Net - Azeri President's statements contain positive hints, OSCE MG Co-Chair Matthew Bryza announced in Yerevan. American diplomat finds Aliyev's statement on "NKR people's security" a positive phenomenon.



With regard to Armenian-Turkish process' potential impact on Karabakh peace talks, Mr. Bryza stressed that two processes were parallel and should be viewed different angles. "Of course, the speedy course of one of the processes will influence the other," Bryza said.



In the meantime, he refuted Azeri media reports on his being appointed as Ambassador in Azerbaijan. "I have no information. President Obama has not proposed my candidacy to Senate that's why I'll remain as Co-Chair of OSCE MG and Assistant to US Secretary of State," the diplomat stressed.



In their turn, Co-Chairs Bernard Fassier and Yuri Merzlyakov agreed that Azeri President had mitigated his rhetoric. "For many years, we were trying to convince President Aliyev to refrain from bellicose statements and he seems to have obeyed us," Bernard Fassier noted.



In an interview for "Russia" TV Channel, Azeri Presdient Ilham Aliyev stressed the importance of "guaranteeing NKR population's security".
