YEREVAN, APRIL 9, NOYAN TAPAN. The U.S is ready to cooperate both with
the newly elected Armenian president and all the political forces and
their leaders. "Armenia is not only its president but also all the
Armenians living here," the U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State,
U.S. co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group Matthew Bryza said during a
talk with reporters on April 9.
He wished the Armenian people and the new president strength and
courage in order to find a balance between the wishes of each citizen
and those of the whole people. As for Serge Sargsian's statement
that limitless freedom may restrict the main rights of the society
and some individuals, M. Bryza said: We are in favor of freedom. We
believe that the Armenian people is intelligent and can find this
balance. In his words, the freedom of assembly should be restored
in the country as quickly as possibly. At the same time he said that
the leaders of the opposition political forces should also be ready
to find common language with the government.
M. Bryza wished that the newly elected president would continue
activity for settlement of the Karabakh conflict. According to him,
the framework agreement currently on negotiation table has not been
completed yet.
Responding to the question about Azerbaijan's efforts aimed
at dissolving the Minsk Group, the U.S. representative said that
maintaing this format is not so important to him. I know that my
country and me have a great role in this issue, he pointed out.
