Matthew Bryza: Separating Turkish-Armenian fence-mending from Nagorno-Karabakh mediation 'big mistake'
The EU and the US made a big mistake when decided to decouple the process of Turkey-Armenia normalization from the process of Nagorno-Karabakh mediation, the former US Ambassador to Azerbaijan Matthew Bryza told journalists on June 7.
"It was a big mistake when we separated the two processes," Bryza said. "If there was a progress in one process, there will be in other as well."
"Peace process on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is in stagnation," he said. "However, that is not because there is no progress."
"The two presidents have agreed on the whole series of basic settlement principles," he said. "There are few issues that have importance, but completely resolvable."
He added that the two presidents' will is required to resolve this conflict.
