A private meeting between the Presidents of Azerbaijan and Armenia
Ilham Aliyev and Serzh Sargsyan, to discuss the resolution of the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict may take place in the near future, Matthew
Bryza, the US Assistant Secretary of State for Europe and Eurasia, said
addressing the meeting of the Commission on Security and Cooperation
in Europe (US Helsinki commission) at the US Congress on 17 April,
ITAR-TASS reported.
Bryza did not respond unilaterally to the appeals by legislators to
elaborate on the date of the talks between Aliyev and Sargsyan. The
planning of such a meeting could take place within a matter of
months. The Azerbaijani and Armenian foreign ministers who are eligible
to arrange talks between Aliyev and Sargsyan, may meet within a month
or more," the US diplomat said.
He reiterated that the situation around Nagorno-Karabakh, as per the
aspect of Washington, does not have a military solution. The United
States considers that it is necessary to achieve a compromise of
'political agreements', Bryza stated.
He did not agree with reports stating that the activities by the OSCE
Minsk Group on Nagorno-Karabakh under the co-chairmanship of Russia,
France and the United States, were not efficient. The work undertaken
by the Group represents tremendous value and is very efficient,
the Assistant Secretary of State said.
