Bryza: I didn't spoke of Karabakh agreement in Baku
The Azeri media again distorted the statements by the OSCE Minsk Group U.S. Co-chair, Ambassador Matthew Bryza. "During a visit to Baku I said we can't rule out that Armenian and Azerbaijani Presidents might sing a kind of oral gentlemen's agreement but I never spoke of a written agreement," Mr Bryza said in Yerevan October 27.

Earlier, Azeri media quoted Mr Bryza allegedly saying that Presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan can sign a kind of framework agreement on Karabakh till next spring, IA Regnum reports.
