    ARMENIAN POLITICIAN DOWNBEAT ON US MEDIATOR'S VISIT

    Yerevan, 1 August: "The visit of the US co-chairman of the OSCE Minsk
    Group, Matthew Bryza, showed that the leadership of the Nagornyy
    Karabakh republic [NKR] firmly insists that Nagornyy Karabakh should
    become the main party to the negotiating process," the leader of the
    Democratic Party of Armenia and chairman of the steering committee of
    the Union for the Defence of the NKR, Aram Sarkisyan, told an Arminfo
    correspondent today.

    He expressed confidence that "as soon as Nagornyy Karabakh becomes
    a party to the negotiations, many provisions in the draft frame
    agreement proposed by the OSCE Minsk Group will be changed".

    On the whole, Bryza's visit did not answer most of the
    important questions regarding the negotiating process, Sarkisyan
    said. "Naturally, this was a factfinding visit by Bryza, however, it
    is clear that his statements remain in force. It seems to me that great
    attention was paid to one of the co-chairmen and his remarks were taken
    with a shiver," he said. "We consider that there should be the same
    balanced attitude to the co-chairmen. I absolutely do not understand
    the statements by the Armenian foreign and defence ministers that the
    main principles of the settlement proposed by the OSCE Minsk Group
    co-chairs
    are acceptable to Armenia," Sarkisyan said.

    [Passage omitted: Sarkisyan speaks about the possible deployment of
    peacekeepers in Nagornyy Karabakh]
