U.S. Agreement on Karabakh Depends on Azeri and Armenian Presidents

PanARMENIAN.Net - The Armenian and Azerbaijani governments themselves have decided to request the international community for assistance in establishing a dialogue on the Nagonro Karabakh conflict settlement, Daniel Fried, Assistant Secretary for the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs stated. In his words, the parties were close to an agreement in Key West, however failed to achieve real progress. "May be this time the sides will succeed. The OSCE MG Co-chairs will not exert pressure upon the sides. They have just advanced some ideas, which can serve as a good basis for the conflict resolution. The decision depends on the Armenian and Azerbaijani Presidents," Mr. Fried said.



He remarked that as a U.S. representative he wishes "return of as many regions as possible to Azerbaijan and return of refugees to their homes."
