    U.S. BELIEVES YEREVAN, BAKU COULD SETTLE N. KARABAKH PROBLEM IN 2006

    The U.S. believes the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict could be settled in
    2006 and urges the Azeri and Armenian presidents to increase efforts
    toward this end, Matthew Bryza, U.S. deputy assistant secretary of
    state for European and Eurasian affairs, told journalists in Baku
    on Tuesday.

    Bryza said an encouraging draft agreement on Nagorno-Karabakh was on
    the table now and that the U.S. believed a consensus was possible.

    Bryza confirmed that a meeting between the Azeri and Armenian
    presidents in Bucharest on Monday failed to produce the desired
    results.

    Bryza said more consultations were expected with Ambassador Steven
    Mann, the U.S. co-chairman of the OSCE Minsk Group, after the latter
    completes the discussion of further ways to settle the conflict with
    his Russian and French counterparts.

    The U.S. diplomat pointed out that the internal political situation in
    Armenia would be more complicated in 2007, and therefore the current
    year is viewed as more favorable for achieving an agreement.

    Armenia will hold parliamentary elections in 2007 and presidential
    elections in 2008.
