08/03/2006

“Making announcements about possibly tying Karabagh with Armenia just makes things worse in the region and is not beneficial,” said U.S. Ambassador in Azerbaijan Rino Harnish to journalists of “Trend” in response to the question on the announcement. He also stated that the U.S. wants to continue the conflict negotiation process and is calling on the presidents of both countries and the foreign ministers respectively to keep the negotiations at the same pace.

“The U.S. government believes that the Karabagh conflict will be settled in the near future,” said Harnish.
