Matthew Bryza said his duty as a mediator was to support these processes. He thinks that Azerbaijan does not try to dissolve Minsk Group.
â€œI am unaware of intentions in Baku, but I know what senior officials told me. I do not think that they try to dissolve Minsk Group. They have simply asked if there is any procedure for this. It makes no difference to me whether Minsk Group will exist or not. My country will continue to play an important role in the settlement of Nagorno Karabakh problemâ€, he said.
Matthew Bryza said the Minsk Group worked well.
â€œThe framework agreement on the table is not completely ready. We have achieved much up to now. This should be continued and completed within the framework of the Minsk Groupâ€, he said.
The American Co-Chair also underlined that he felt Azerbaijanâ€™s wish to continue the negotiations.
â€œSurely, Azerbaijan like Armenia has the right to try to amend the document. Being mediator, I should cooperate with both sides in order to reach an understandingâ€, he said.
Matthew Bryza will leave Armenia for Azerbaijan on April 11.
