The newly appointed U.S. Co-Chairman of the OSCE MG, Robert Bradtke,
is a great, experienced diplomat, said Bradtke's predecessor,
Matthew Bryza.
"I can only say that Ambassador Bradtke is a super diplomat and a
good friend," Bryza told Trend News over the phone.
Former U.S. Ambassador to Croatia, Robert Bradtke, has been appointed
the new U.S. Co-Chair of the OSCE MG, the U.S. State Department Bureau
for Europe and Eurasia told Trend News.
Bradtke was previously been engaged in Balkans issues and
U.S. relations with NATO and the OSCE from 2001 to 2004, and, just
like former U.S. Co-Chair of the OSCE MG, Matthew Bryza, had, he
has also served as Deputy Assistant to the U.S. State Secretary for
European and Eurasian Affairs.
Bryza wished Bradtke great success in his diplomatic mission.
The Azerbaijan and Armenian governments have already been informed
about Bradtke's appointment. The ambassador is currently getting
familiarized with the new position and intends to visit the region
in the coming week, the U.S State Department press-secretary said.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian armed
forces have occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan since 1992, including
the Nagorno-Karabakh region and 7 surrounding districts. Azerbaijan
and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The co-chairs of
the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia, France, and the U.S. - are currently
holding the peace negotiations.
