    OSCE MG Believes Status Should Be Decided By People of Karabakh

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ OSCE Minsk Group U.S. Co-chair Matthew Bryza
    described the meeting with Armenian President Robert Kocharian as
    "encouraging". "I think there is political will here definitely to
    keep the process going. There have been public statements that the
    framework and principles proposed by the Minsk Group are agreeable for
    Armenia," Mr Bryza said in an interview with RFE/RL. The U.S. mediator
    said there still remain unsettled problems referring to the Kelbajar
    and Lachin regions as well as the status of Nagorno Karabakh. Bryza
    confirmed that the mediators believe the status should be decided
    by the "people of Karabakh" "But the question is how do you define
    the people of Karabakh? And there were residents there in 1988 who
    wish to participate," he added in a clear reference to the region's
    displaced Azerbaijani minority. "All these things have still to be
    worked out as part of a broad package," he said. In his words, the
    principles that are on the table don't constitute an agreement. "They
    are principles, suggestions. So it's not possible for anyone to
    walk away from an agreement, if there isn't an agreement," said the
    U.S. administration official.
