No need to pin hopes on identity of co-chairs: political expert

“I think she is skilled person. But there is no need to hope for individuals in the Minsk Group,” Guluzade said. .

Formerly  Kaidanow served as U.S. special envoy to Pristina (the capital of Kosovo). She was appointed U.S. ambassador to Kosovo in 2008.

“We have often been and are unfair towards Matthew Bryza while the whole policy is based on the country's leadership. Indeed, the U.S. leadership is not involved with the problem of Nagorno-Karabakh. Therefore, the U.S. representative in the OSCE Minsk Group is engaged in simulation activities. Everyone does it within his ability,” he said.

“For example, Matthew Bryza made overly optimistic statements. But the United States has still not condemned the Russian-Armenian aggression. The United States still does not require the withdrawal of all occupying forces. Armenia calls for the independence of Nagorno-Karabakh knowing that Azerbaijan will not agree to this. Therefore, the state of “no peace - no war” will continue,” the political expert said.

“No matter to what degree we urge co-chairs of the U.S. change country’s position as an outside observer, nothing will change. It is all the same whether Matthew Bryza or Tina Kaidanow will be co-chair. We need the state's position. There is no need to rely on the identity of the co-chairs,” he said.

“Both Bernard Fassier and Matthew Bryza was engaged in spontaneous action. Only Yuri Merzlyakov represented Russia and he deliberately does nothing to resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict,” he said.
