    "ECHO": "CERTAINLY, WITHDRAWAL OF ARMENIAN TROOPS FROM CONFLICT ZONE TO REDUCE TENSION IN REGION"

    Matthew Brise, Co-Chairman of OSCE Minsk Group considers so Co-Chairmen
    of the OSCE Minsk Group brought peace dialogue to certain phase,
    after which the Presidents of Azerbaijan and Armenia should take
    decision themselves. Reportedly Trend News-Agency, the Adviser of the
    U.S. State Secretary for Europe & Eurasia issues, Co-Chairman of the
    OSCE Minsk Group, Matthew Brise stated.

    "Other co-chairmen of the OSCE Minsk Group, and also Stephen Mann whom
    I replaced in the post of Co-chairman, in a day of previous interview
    stated that "my words can make people to become thoughtful and will
    create ground for sound debates in region," said the American diplomat.

    "I do not wonder at holding debates but at those who not familiarized
    with the latest statement of the Co-Chairmen of the OSCE Minsk Group
    in Vienna, expressed so rapid reaction. Co-Chairmen's statement clearly
    says that, but my statement was just a brief generalization," he said.

    To the question, his statement for peace plan can be regarded as a
    part of strategy for beginning of debates, M. Brise responded: "Yes
    and not. I just gave detailed information about progressing events.

    The document submitted to the OSCE Permanent Council is open for
    society."

    Talking of contradictory statements concerning referendum on the
    Nagorno-Garabagh status, the American co-chairman said that finally,
    the sides failed to agree over the main principles of regulation
    developed by the Presidents and Ministers of Foreign Affairs for the
    last two years. Because both Presidents bear responsibility for that
    agreement has not been yet reached. "I can't say who from the Head
    of States bear the greatest responsibility. Any time the Presidents
    can state that agreement on the main principles has been reached,
    or declare that this agreement has been changed and a package plan
    to be taken," said the Co-Chairman.

    "My predecessor and other co-chairmen of the OSCE Minsk Group used all
    their skills and energy for preparing "frame agreement", implying the
    main principles of regulation process. The Presidents need a time to
    well consider and adopt a decision on this agreement," he continued
    and added that "in statement, the co-chairmen want to note that there
    is no place for diplomatic creative work, polishing of a metal."

    "Mutual political compromises in this document are so important that
    should be done by the Presidents. I am very energetic and know the
    leaders well enough. We'll continue work with them and do not state
    that the negotiation process stopped forever. But we want to note
    that we brought the dialogue to certain phase after which heads of
    states should take decision themselves," he said.

    Furthermore, M. Brise said that certainly, the withdrawal of Armenian
    troops from conflict will reduce tensity in region. "That's why
    this question is an important element of the main principles of
    regulation. But demanding from Armenians "withdraw your troops from
    region that to allow to reduce tensity in the region", we won't
    achieve what we want. If Armenians know that instead of that they
    will get something, they will do that. They are the main principles.

    The experts are right, if Armenian armed forces are withdrawn, it
    will reduce a tensity. But instead of that they should get something.

    That's why Heads of States should take a hard decision," he stated.

    M. Brise also said that regional demilitarization will entail
    the national elections or referendum on future status of the
    Nagorno-Garabagh.

    The difficulty is how to coordinate the temporary parameters of
    withdrawal or re-deployment of Armenian armed forces with the status
    of the Nagorno-Garabagh. Just that factor complicates this problem.

    M. Brise hopes that the Nagorno-Garabagh conflict will be included to
    the agenda of G8 conference in St. Petersburg. Minister of Foreign
    Affairs of Russia, Sergey Lavrov stated that this issue would be
    discussed. "We'd like that this question to be included to the meeting
    agenda," said the Advisor of the U.S. State Secretary for Europe &
    Eurasia issues.
