Azerbaijani MP commented on replacement of OSCE MG U.S. co-chair

"New U.S. diplomat will need certain time to study the conflict. However, there is an inherit principle in the diplomacy. Replacing the U.S. co-chairman of the OSCE Minsk Group does not mean that Washington's attitude towards the Armenia-Azerbaijan Nagorno-Karabakh conflict will change. The main factor in diplomacy is state interests," Gurbanli told NAP Web site.

Some media reports claimed that diplomat Tina Kaidanow will replace Matthew Bryza, U.S. co-chairman of the OSCE Minsk Group.

Armenia is happy about probability of appointment of Kaidanow, who was dealing with Kosova issue formerly.

"The agressor Armenia claims that Kaidanow's appointment means that the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict will be resolved based on the Kosova model. It is wrong to draw analogy between the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and Kosovo. Because Kosovo was problem requiring different aspects of approach. The mediating countries in this problem did not mention the territorial integrity of Serbia. However, France, Russia and the U.S. have official positions on the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan," the MP said.
