KARABAKH POLITICAL EXPERT ABOUT FORTHCOMING VISIT OF OSCE MG US
CO-CHAIR TO STEPANAKERT
Stepanakert, July 29. ArmInfo. On the eve of the visit of the newly
appointed US co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group Matthew Bryza to
Nagorny Karabakh, Karabakh political expert David Babayan has given
an interview to ArmInfo concerning his expectations from the visit.
He says that the visit is of both procedural and political nature. In
terms of procedure, each newly appointed co-chair should visit
conflicting countries, should see the situation with his own eyes,
should establish personal ties with the leaders. So, in this light,
this will be a kind of acquaintance visit. Still, in terms of
politics, one cannot avoid visiting Nagorny Karabakh. It is not a
secret that Nagorny Karabakh together with Azerbaijan is the key party
to the conflict, irrespective of who is negotiating today. The
restoration of the trilateral negotiating format or direct talks
between Nagorny Karabakh and Azerbaijan is just a matter of time. In
this light, Bryza's visit is very important especially now that the
efforts to resolve the conflict exclusively through Armenian-Azeri
presidential talks have failed.
To remind, Bryza is to visit Stepanakert today and is to meet with NK
President Arkady Ghoukassyan.-0-
