A recess is necessary in negotiations between Armenia and Azerbaijan
on settling the conflict over Nagorno- Karabakh, OSCE Minsk Group
Co-Chairman Matthew Bryza of the U.S. told journalists in Baku
on Tuesday.
As long as there are tensions in Armenia's domestic situation, it
will be hard to achieve progress in negotiations on Nagorno-Karabakh,
he said.
What Armenia needs to do now is restore democracy at home, he said.
Bryza reiterated that Kosovo cannot be viewed as a precedent for
settling similar conflicts because each conflict has its own specifics.
Bryza suggested that Armenian President Robert Kocharian's remark to
the effect that Kosovo's international recognition should advance
the recognition of Nagorno-Karabakh's independence was only his
personal opinion.
