I sensed on deepening mutual respect among the Presidents of Azerbaijan and Armenia, both of whom genuinely seem to want to work through the remaining issuesâ€, said Matthew Bryza, US Co-Chair of the OSCE Minsk Group in his exclusive interview with APA. â€œWhile there is more work to do, we are moving closer to both Presidents accepting the reality that international law recognizes Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity, while political expediency requires that the parties negotiate on political (rather than legal) compromise on Nagorno-Karabakh’s statusâ€. Speaking about the next steps towards the settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, Matthew Bryza said the leaders of Azerbaijan and Armenia would elaborate their views on a handful of remaining issues. â€œThe Foreign Ministers will then share those views with each other and the Co-Chairs later in Julyâ€.
