Matthew Bryza: Vienna meeting of Azerbaijani and Armenian presidents to change Karabakh talks

The meeting in Vienna of Azerbaijani and Armenian Presidents, Ilham Aliyev and Serzh Sargsyan, will change the negotiation process on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, the former US Assistant Secretary for the South Caucasus, former US ambassador to Azerbaijan, Director of the International Center for Defense Studies in Tallinn, Matthew Bryza, said.

"We should not expect dramatic breakthrough in resolving the conflict after the meeting in Vienna. However, the meeting will bring a lot of positive changes, and most importantly, it was marked by more active participation of the United States," he said.

At the same time, the diplomat said that the US did not react properly at the time of the escalation of the conflict.

"The ceasefire after the escalation of tensions in early April has been achieved with the mediation of Vladimir Putin and his officials, while the US President Barack Obama has not even made a statement, and the statement of the US State Department was very weak," Trend cited him as saying.
