Matthew Bryza: "There is currently no need to change the format of Karabakh conflict resolution"

"There is the only format of Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement and this is the OSCE Minsk Group and there is no need to change the format of talks today. I think the process is advancing", Bryza said during the meeting with Serzh Sarkisyann, newly elected president of Armenia, taking part in the NATO summit in the Romanian capital.

M.Bryza noted that the negotiation process will continue in the future. "We are familiar with the newly elected president of Armenia, we know him and we know that we will be able to continue talks with him. The point is that after inauguration of the Armenian Presidents, the heads of the two countries will be able to meet and communicate. We are looking forward for such an opportunity", the US co-chairman said.

Speaking about Azerbaijan's stiff position as to the continuation of talks on the peaceful resolution of the Karabakh conflict, the US co-chairman said he considers that Azerbaijan is also ready for continuation of the process despite existing complicated moments.

He voiced confidence that the talks will continue and hope that they will soon be completed.

"The talks have been resumed today and we should advance forward step by step", M.Bryza noted.
