Baku. Tamara Grigoryeva â€“ APA. â€œIf you pay attention to Matthew Bryzaâ€™s statements, you will see that he either refutes them the next day, or expresses quite different views. Thatâ€™s why I do not want to comment on Bryzaâ€™s recent statementâ€, Spokesman fro Azerbaijanâ€™s Foreign Ministry Khazar Ibrahim said while taking a stance on the statement of OSCE Minsk American Co-Chair Matthew Bryza in Moscow, APA reports. Khazar Ibrahim lined up the issues on the table as follows: the conflict will be solved stage-by-stage, units of Armenian army will be withdrawn from Azerbaijani territories, all internally displaced people (IDP) of Azerbaijan will return to their native lands and Nagorno Karabkhâ€™s status will be determined within the framework of Azerbaijanâ€™s territorial integrity only after the communities have normal relations. The diplomat said the importance of the negotiations was that the process continued, but any progress was out of discussion.
â€œIf there was any improvement, we could speak about new situationâ€, he said.
Matthew Bryza said in Moscow that the negotiations between Armenia and Azerbaijan covered liberation of the regions around Nagorno Karabakh, deployment of peacekeeping forces in the region and referendum concerning Nagorno Karabakhâ€™s status.
