The Armenian initiative to include the Nagorno-Karabakh representatives in the talks is wrong.

Matthew Bryza, former US Co-Chair of the OSCE Minsk Group and ex-US ambassador to Azerbaijan, stated the aforementioned at the NATO Parliamentary Assembly Rose-Roth Seminar, which is held in the Azerbaijani capital city Baku, Haqqin.az reported.

“We cannot wait in the Karabakh conflict matter, since it inhibits important regional projects and threatens to become the forty-year-old Cyprus problem,” Bryza specifically noted.    

In his words, Russia, whose objective is to achieve a regional imbalance, is a destabilizing factor in the South Caucasus.

Matthew Bryza also stated that Russia, along with Iran, “puts pressure” on Azerbaijan, in an attempt to distance it from the European integration processes and European values.
