    ARMENIA'S RECOGNITION OF KARABAKH INDEPENDENCE WON'T LEAVE SPACE FOR CONTINUATION OF NEGOTIATIONS

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ I think any move that prejudges the outcome of
    the negotiations on Nagorno Karabakh conflict that are underway and
    that are achieving some real results in terms of moving closer to
    finalizing the basic principles would be unhelpful. OSCE Minsk Group
    U.S. Co-chair Matthew Bryza said.

    "We looked at the UN GA resolution of Azerbaijan in that very light:
    that it was a one-sided resolution that did not reflect the fair
    and balanced nature of the proposal on the table. Similarly, if the
    Armenian side were to move unilaterally and prejudge the outcome
    of the negotiations by recognizing Nagorno Karabakh, that would be
    something that is very seriously undermining the peace process. I
    think that would be a highly asymmetric response to Azerbaijan's move
    at the UN GA and potentially a highly destabilizing move. It would
    mean to decide that this is the end of the negotiating process and
    we have unilaterally declared that the conflict is resolved in this
    way. I do not know how that would leave space for the continuation
    of negotiations. We need to maintain the give and take that aims
    to achieve this fair and balanced compromise which is absolutely
    within reach right now and requires a little bit more work to reach a
    compromise. U.S. aid to Armenia won't be affected if positive trends
    continue," he told The Armenian Reporter.
