Matthew Bryza: "The confidentiality of presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan must be respected"

"Foreign officials, especially mediators, are mostly more optimistic in the sense of prospects of an agreement than the sides that must make serious mutual concessions.

The psychological weight of such solutions makes the sides be less optimistic than foreign officials who are not responsible for the internal political implications of such complicated solutions", said Matthew Bryza.

Speaking about importance of the regime of confidentiality of the negotiation process, Matthew Bryza said he has no right to speak of any definite attainment of Zurich talks, as it is necessary to have a respect for confidentiality which the presidents still have while they are pondering over the mutual concessions each of them need to do to attain fair and balanced agreement".

"It is possible to say about Zurich that the presidents have attached a new and positive impulse, stressed readiness to meet more frequently and asked the co-chairs to develop formulations to overcome differences between the parties", noted Bryza.
