"Year of 2009 can really be decisive", said US co-chair of the OSCE
Minsk Group Matthew Bryza in his exclusive interview to the Capital
newspaper, responding to the question about the final resolution of
the Karabakh conflict.
"Foreign officials, especially mediators, are mostly more optimistic
in the sense of prospects of an agreement than the sides that must
make serious mutual concessions.
The psychological weight of such solutions makes the sides be less
optimistic than foreign officials who are not responsible for the
internal political implications of such complicated solutions",
said Matthew Bryza.
Speaking about importance of the regime of confidentiality of the
negotiation process, Matthew Bryza said he has no right to speak of
any definite attainment of Zurich talks, as it is necessary to have
a respect for confidentiality which the presidents still have while
they are pondering over the mutual concessions each of them need to
do to attain fair and balanced agreement".
"It is possible to say about Zurich that the presidents have attached
a new and positive impulse, stressed readiness to meet more frequently
and asked the co-chairs to develop formulations to overcome differences
between the parties", noted Bryza.
