    ISSUE OF NAGORNO KARABAKH'S PARTICIPATION IN NEGOTIATIONS ONE OF MAIN
    COMPONENTS OF ARKADY GHOUKASSIAN'S AND MATTHEW BRYZA'S CONVERSATION

    STEPANAKERT, JULY 31, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. Arkady
    Ghoukassian characterized the atmosphere of the July 29 meeting with
    OSCE MG American Co-chair Matthew Bryza as "very constructive and
    creative". "We exchanged opinions and looked for joint approaches
    to promote the progress", - Matthew Bryza told the journalists after
    the meeting.

    As NT was informed from NKR Foreign Ministry Press Service, The
    Co-Chair noted that his first visit to Nagorno Karabakh was purely
    acquainting. "One should not expect any new elements yet - I have
    just arrived to listen to your opinion", - Matthew Bryza said.

    Commenting upon the meeting with the U.S. Co-Chair NKR President Arkady
    Ghoukassian said: "Undoubtedly, one of the principal issues of our talk
    was participation of Nagorno Karabakh in the negotiations, and I think
    that Mr. Bryza understands that without Nagorno Karabakh the conflict
    cannot be settled. Not only he but all the mediators realize it".

    The President noted that without visiting the NKR and getting
    acquainted with the situation on the spot the newly-appointed Co-Chair
    would not be able to form full notion about what was going on in
    the region.

    "I have not had big expectations from Mr. Bryza's visit as I knew that
    he was not arriving with new formulas but to listen to us. In this
    respect my expectations have been justified because we could entirely
    present our positions. As regards the fact that the mediators had not
    arrived in Nagorno Karabakh for a long time it was to a greater extent
    connected with technical issues. I have been constantly receiving
    invitation to meet with them in Yerevan but I think that it would be
    right to hold such meetings in Stepanakert", - Arkady Ghoukassian said.

    "In the course of the meeting a creative approach both by the President
    and the American Co-Chair was displayed. The ideas, which were to
    be specified, coordinated and discussed for a long time, have been
    expressed", - in his turn NKR Foreign Minister Georgy Petrossian,
    who participated in the meeting of the Republic's President with the
    OSCE MG U.S. Co-Chair, told the journalists.

    "I am glad that the American Co-Chair has arrived as promised. We
    agreed upon that in the USA. Mr.Bryza is energetic enough and makes
    up his mind constructively", - NKR Minister of Foreign Affairs said.
