Washington : a tough ultimatum to Azerbaijan

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton during a security conference in Munich has paid great attention to the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. She discussed the situation in the breakaway republic with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian. Clinton stressed that Washington considers to be unacceptable military solution to this conflict. Hillary Clinton: "Karabakh problem can be solved peacefully. U.S. as co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group will continue to provide valuable assistance in reaching agreements between the parties to the conflict and to resolve the problem." Washington is trying to cool down a bit of Azerbaijan, from which in the past year have repeatedly heard signals readiness to force to resolve the issue of the sovereignty of Nagorno-Karabakh. Sergey Minasyan, Deputy Director of the Caucasus Institute: "Over the last couple of months, Azerbaijan has significantly reduced its military rhetoric. And this is largely the result of coordinated positions of the co-chairs of the Minsk Group. This is not just the United States, Russia, and this, as well as France, which partly represents the position of the European Union. " Our interlocutor is certain that the problem of Nagorno-Karabakh is extremely important for international mediators. Therefore, any party wishing to unleash aggression in the region, will be faced with the resistance of several world powers. Expert: "The Karabakh conflict and its peaceful resolution is exceptional and unique example of how countries that have very serious problems and even conflicts in the former Soviet Union - I mean Russia, France and the United States - in the Karabakh issue demonstrate a striking and sustained Consensus is almost second decade. I do not think the Americans are somehow seeking to increase its role in this process. Moreover, as we have seen for three years, starting in the fall of 2008, the United States actually supported the role of Russia in this process as negotiations under the auspices of the three Presidents Medvedev, where Russia was the first among equals. And, as we can see, the U.S. supported the format. And I do not think that any changes will be in the future. "
