BRYZA REFUTES THE STATEMENTS ON RETURN OF THE TERRITORIES
Anyway, after the meeting with NKR President Bako Sahakian the mediators were not in a good mood while meeting with the journalists. French Co-chair Bernard Fussier with a certain reluctance answered the question about his participation in the Azerbaijani armed forces anniversary celebrations on June 26 in Baku. He mentioned that it was not a participation but only a presence. What about the motive, the French diplomat mentioned that there is a necessity to be well acquainted with the military and financial opportunities of the conflict parties, to assess the available facts in order to approach the issue more efficiently.
To the question which are those Madrid principles that became a subject for discussion in Baku, Yerevan and Stepanakert, the Co-chairs avoid detailing; they only mentioned that the Azerbaijani and Armenian authorities already came to an agreement about the prevailing part of the 15 principles.
The principles were presented by the MG Co-chairs in November of 2007 and now there is a necessity to specify the conflict parties' positions on the rest of principles, especially as the authorities are changed in Armenia, US Co-chair Matthew Bryza said. He categorically refuted the statements by the journalists as if saying that it would be peace in the conflict region if the occupied territories are returned to Azerbaijan.
The present stage may be qualified as a new start of the negotiations, especially as the Azerbaijani and Armenian presidents qualified the St. Petersburg meetings as useful and constructive and made a request for continuation of the negotiations, mentioned the Russian Co-chair Yuri Merzlyakov adding that the mutual confidence between the parties should be strengthened.
What about the possibility of Karabakh participation in the negotiations, Mr. Merzlyakov said their viewpoint remains the same - participation of Karabakh representatives will be of vital importance at a certain moment, but before it some principles should be specified.
To the question of "Azg" daily how Matthew Bryza treats with the possibility of Azerbaijani membership in NATO and whether it will damage the negotiation process, the US Co-chair said that the Azerbaijani membership in NATO is a question of future as Azerbaijan didn't officially express similar willingness. "It is not an urgent theme as in Azerbaijan only individuals speak aloud of membership in NATO", he added.

It's good, when Byrza takes into consideration Azerbaijan's "Willingness" whether to join NATO or not. What about Karapak's "Willingness" to go under Azerbaijan's dark rule...
