The issue of the date and place of the next meeting of the Presidents
of Azerbaijan and Armenia remains unclear, the US Co-Chairman of the
OSCE Minsk Group Matthew Bryza told Trend News.
According to unofficial information, the meeting of the Presidents
of Azerbaijan and Armenia regarding peaceful settlement of the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict may take place at the beginning of April
in Bucharest within the NATO summit. Yerevan and Baku highlighted
their preparedness to re-establish the negotiations process which was
suspended as a result of presidential elections in Armenia in February.
The U.S. Co-Chairman said that the President of Armenia, Robert
Kocharyan, who completes his presidential term will not participate in
the NATO Bucharest summit, and the newly elected President of Armenia,
Serge Sargsyan, will come to the presidential oath no earlier than
9 April, Bryza said, adding that it remains unclear when the next
meeting of the leaders of the two countries will take place.
The U.S. politician considers that the fair and sustainable settlement
of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict remains as one of the key issues of
the US-Azerbaijan partnership. "The United States and Azerbaijan
are satisfied with the deep friendship and strong strategic
partnership. The high-ranking officials of Azerbaijan clearly
made aware Washington that they intend to, in every possible way,
strengthen and intensify our close relations in a wide diapason of
issues of mutual interest," said the Deputy Assistant Secretary of
State for European and Eurasian Affairs, Matthew Bryza.
