"There has been reached an agreement to concentrate attention on
the elaboration of basic principles, developed by the Minsk Group",
said OSCE MG co-chair Matthew Bryza after talks in Baku.
In his interview to BBC radio station the US co-chair said about what
Armenia and Azerbaijan should do to complete the basic principles:
"The basic principles define the final settlement of the conflict,
frames of its settlement. This will create balance and fair conditions
for stimulating the process, considering mechanisms of provision
of security for both ethnic groups of the region, return of lands,
return of internally displaced persons to the places of their residence
that also includes the development of mechanisms for definition of
the political status of the disputable area.
Thus, currently several specific moments are at the stage of settlement
and their settlement will allow to generalize the frames of the
completion of what we call basic principles.
Yet, I cannot say anything about these unagreed moments as I should
create conditions for the presidents to hold talks freely. The
presidents need to make courageous steps.
In the coming months, we must attain definite results. We must reach
a significant progress on Nagorno Karabakh. I think this progress is
close and I hope that we will see it during the meeting of President
Sargsyan and President Aliyev next month".
