Former US Ambassador: Decoupling Turkish-Armenian normalization
process from Nagorno-Karabakh mediation process was big mistake
Azerbaijan, Baku, June 7 / Trend S. Ahmadova /
The EU and the US made a big mistake when decided to decouple the
process of Turkey-Armenia normalization from the process of
Nagorno-Karabakh mediation, the former US Ambassador to Azerbaijan
Matthew Bryza told journalists on Friday.
"It was a big mistake when we separated the two processes," Bryza
said. "If there was a progress in one process, there will be in other
as well."
"Peace process on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is in stagnation," he
said. "However, that is not because there is no progress."
"The two presidents have agreed on the whole series of basic
settlement principles," he said. "There are few issues that have
importance, but completely resolvable.
He added that the two presidents' will is required to resolve this conflict.
