The statements by the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs in a meeting of the
OSCE permanent committee, who stated that they 'can't do anything more
in the definition of peaceable principles of the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict' do not mean a deadlock, U.S. Ambassador Matthew Bryza,
the OSCE Minsk Group co-chair told Azerbaijani Service of BBC.
The statement means the creative opportunities of mediators have
exhausted and therefore, there is necessity for initiatives in decision
making by leaders of the confect countries. "It is not a deadlock. It
is the moment in the negotiation process when the co-chairs say the
leaders can take a resolution that they want," Bryza underscored.
Both leaders possess political will, wish cooperation, but we still
do not know whether they are ready to take final and difficult steps
to summarize the major principles of frame agreement, he said. "Now
it is high time when the leaders should explain their nations the
benefit of the peace plan, show the way for progress with the help
of compromises. This is the way of diplomacy," the mediator emphasized.
Bryza underlined that thee are fair and encouraging principles.
"These are the best of all proposals put so far. I'd say that we are
too far to peace as never. But I can't guarantee that the Presidents
using their sovereign rights will accept these proposals or inject
changes, which would satisfy both sides," he stressed.
According to the co-chair, the statement by the United States on
support to territorial integrity of Azerbaijan and a principle on
self-determination do not contradict each other. "If you pay attention
to the statements by the co-chairs, they refer to both principles. The
most important is to find the contacts between these principles at
the table of talks.
