Deputy U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian
Affairs Matthew Bryza, a co-chairman of the Organization for Security
and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) Minsk Group, is leaving Baku for
Paris on Tuesday to meet with his colleagues from Russia and France.
I came here as a co-chairman to listen to the opinions of Azerbaijani
President Ilham Aliyev and Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar
Mamedyarov, Bryza said after talks with the authorities of the
Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry, adding that he was leaving for Paris
on Tuesday to meet with the other co-chairmen.
Bryza visited Azerbaijan and Armenia, where he listened to the opinions
of the parties to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict on the settlement.
Baku lost control over Nagorno-Karabakh and seven adjacent districts
in a bloody conflict with Armenia in the 1990s. The conflict sent
some one million Azerbaijanis fleeing to seek refuge.
The co-chairmen of the OSCE Minsk Group from the United States,
Russia and France are involved in efforts to settle the conflict.
