Bryza: OSCE MG recognized only two parties to Karabakh conflict – Armenia and Azerbaijan
The OSCE Minsk Group has recognized only two parties to the Armenia-Azerbaijan Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Azerbaijan and Armenia, former OSCE Minsk Group co-chair from the US Matthew Bryza told Trend.
Bryza was commenting on Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s statement made at the panel debates on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
“Representatives of only Baku and Yerevan have participated in Minsk Group negotiations,” former US ambassador added.
Bryza added that during his tenure at the US co-chair, the Armenian side occasionally requested participation by the so-called ‘representatives’ of Nagorno-Karabakh, but all three co-chairs consistently rejected these requests.
“After the co-chairs’ quiet rebuffs, Yerevan never pressed the issue further,” Bryza added. “I interpreted this approach as a sign of the Armenian government’s need to “check a political box” with Karabakh Armenians without provoking Azerbaijan and threatening the positive momentum we were building at the negotiating table.”
