After replacement of US Co-Chair of the OSCE MG for settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, replacement of Russian and French Co-Chairs Yuri Merzlyakov and Bernard Fassier is also possible, stated Azeri President's Special Representative for Karabakh issue, Deputy FM Araz Azimov.

In his words, "Bryza entering the region opens some prospects." Azimov also noted that the Azeri party has presented Azerbaijan's stand in the Karabakh issue to the American mediator.

When commenting on Bryza's statement that the NK status should be decided by its people, which also implies "people living there before 1988," Azimov underscored that Karabakh residents should be treated not as people, but as population. "In this matter we should take into account both the opinion of Armenian and Azeri communities," Azimov said. He also believes that the question of status can be discussed only after occupied territories are returned to Azerbaijan, reports Mediamax.
