Matthew Bryza: "Presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan come out with similar positions on basic principles of the Nagorno Garabagh conflict settlement"

"Though we do not expect the final agreement to be adopted during the current visit of the co-chairmen to the region, we see that both presidents come out with similar positions on basic principles of the conflict settlement", the co-chairman said.

He noted that time does not play a significant role in the achievement of a single position on basic principles between the leadership of Armenia and Azerbaijan.

"We do not want to set artificial deadlines for the agreement signing, preferring to give both president as much time as will be required for the detailed analysis of each sentence, word or letter" he noted.

Bryza said it is necessary to wait, as both presidents move in the right direction.

Meanwhile, French co-chairman Bernard Fassier said commenting on the situation that considering the positions of the two sides, the mediators found it necessary to explain definite regulations of the document.

"We have explained to the sides that our proposals are not a trap for any of the sides. These are the best proposals, which our countries can put forward for achievement of a compromise in the process of the conflict settlement", he announced.
