Hard to predict outcome of Kazan talks - Matthew Bryza
Thu 16 June 2011 05:15 GMT | 1:15 Local Time
It is hard to predict outcomes of the Kazan talks.
The statement came from US ambassador to Azerbaijan Matthew Bryza in
his remarks for journalists.
'The Azerbaijani and Armenian Presidents know this more exactly. But
we can consider that OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs have certain
information. One can say with confidence that there is no trick in the
talks,' Bryza said.
'The discussions are very serious and great progress has been achieved lately.'
Envoy also said the cooperation between NATO and Russia mainly focuses
on missile defence system. They want to create a separate missile
defense system. I have heard nothing about Gabala.
He said NATO-Russia cooperation also focuses on assistance to
Afghanistan. Azerbaijan and Georgia are also included in this transit
route, the envoy added.
Noting that Azerbaijan closely cooperates with NATO, Bryza said NATO
has decided to enhance cooperation both with Azerbaijan and other 29
countries.
'NATO has stated that its doors are open to states with democratic
values in Europe. This means that any state meeting the criteria set
by this state can become NATO member. This is of the same importance
for Azerbaijan.'
Bryza also pointed out that deployment of peacekeepers in
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict zone is also on agenda.
'This issue is expected to be settled. But I can say nothing concrete.
I hope that the issue will be solved positively.'
