Matthew Bryza: "Azerbaijani lands will not be returned until Armenian side is assured that it will get something valuable in exchange"

"I agree that there is a definite risk for Armenian President if he agrees on the return of lands to Azerbaijan. The same as in Azerbaijan there is a political risk of giving something to Armenia that it wants in exchange to the territories", said Matthew Bryza.

"I would like to note that there are numerous points for Armenia, attractive in the sense of resolution: a corridor, connecting Nagorno Karabakh and Armenia, there are issues on the procedure of definition of the status of Nagorno Karabakh. This will possibly involve the Armenian side as well.

Thus I would like to note that the agreement should be also appropriate for Armenia", said the US co-chairman of the OSCE Minsk Group.
