The United States – as an OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chair – remains committed to engaging towards a lasting political settlement to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, and is certain that only a comprehensive resolution can normalize the relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan, the US Embassy in Armenia told Armenpress when asked to comment the Azerbaijani foreign ministry’s latest statement.
“As a Minsk Group Co-Chair, we remain committed to engaging towards a lasting political settlement to the NK conflict and urge Armenia and Azerbaijan to return as soon as possible to substantive discussions under the auspices of the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs to achieve this goal. Only a comprehensive resolution that addresses all outstanding issues can normalize relations between the two countries and allow the people of the region to live together peacefully,” the US Embassy said.
