U.S. Co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement Matthew Bryza did not arrive in the region with Yuri Merzlyakov (Russia) and Bernard Fassier (France). As PanARMENIAN.Net reporter came to know from the U.S. Embassy in Yerevan, Bryza's absence is conditioned by the heavy schedule of the diplomat.

In Yerevan the mediators will meet with Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian and President Robert Kocharian. Then they will head for Baku.
