Bryza pledges to help Armenian, Azerbaijani Presidents reach consentMay 4, 2011 - 12:53 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - U.S. ambassador to Azerbaijan Matthew Bryza commented on the current status of negotiations for the Karabakh conflict settlement, as well as activities carried out to this end. “It took years to reach the current stage of negotiations for the Karabakh conflict resolution,” he said. “The Presidents, Foreign Ministers and mediators tried to draft fair proposals for the two parties over the past years. Territorial integrity and nations’ right to self-determination were taken into consideration in these proposals. I talked to U.S. Co-chairman of the OSCE Minsk Group Robert Bradtke, who said there is progress in the negotiations. I personally will spare no effort so that the Presidents reach an agreement on important matters,” 1news.az quoted Bryza as saying. Azerbaijani authorities report that they have already resettled 3,000 people in the Nagorno-Karabakh town of Stepanakert. On June 10, Azerbaijani President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev will leave for Turkey on a working visit. Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev arrived in Moscow on April 22 to hold talks with Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin. Authorities said a total of 192 Azerbaijani troops were killed and 511 were wounded during Azerbaijan’s offensive. Partner news |
