During a meeting with Azeri Defense Minister Safar Abiyev the US
co-chair of the OSCE MG Matthew Bryza urged Azerbaijan to be patient.
AzerTag reports Bryza to say that Azerbaijan surpasses in Armenia in
all spheres and to urge the country to wait a little bit more. Bryza
said that, besides being the OSCE MG co-chair, he is also responsible
for the resolution of other conflicts in the region, for energy
security in Europe and the development of friendly relations between
the US and Azerbaijan. He said that Azerbaijan is important for
the US and Washington highly appreciates the country's political
and economic achievements. Bryza thanked the Azeri authorities for
active support in the US' anti-terror activities. He said that the
international community wants the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict to be
resolved through peace talks.
In his turn, Abiyev said that the talks are ineffective and that
the OSCE MG's activities have not given positive results yet. He
said that the key obstacle to the further development of Azeri-US
strategic relations is the unsettled state of the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict. Abiyev pointed out that "Armenia has occupied Azeri lands.
Azerbaijan will not yield a single inch of its land. The conflict
must be resolved in line with the international law and territorial
integrity principle. If the peace talks give no result, Azerbaijan
will restore its territorial integrity on its own."
AzerTag does not specify if Bryza called for patience in response
to this phrase but gives the phrases exactly in this sequence, which
suggests a certain conclusion.
