/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The US is not trying to intercept
the initiative in the Nagorno Karabakh conflict
settlement, Armenian FM Vartan Oskanian stated in an
interview with Shant TV Company. He remarked that he
does not consider the visits of US officials to
Armenia becoming more frequent as an attempt to take
the initiative or compete. The Armenian FM supposes
that the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs will adjust their
positions in the Karabakh issue. In his words, today
the US-Armenia cooperation agenda is rather rich and
the two countries have `enough tasks and common
interests' besides the Karabakh issue. At that V.
Oskanian reminded that in the near future the Armenian
part of the Millenium Challenge Account will be
signed. Frequent visits of US officials are due
exactly to that question, though during these matters
referring to the NK issue are also discussed, he
added. The Armenian FM reminded that US Assistant
Secretary of State Daniel Fried will be the next to
visit Armenia. He will arrive in Yerevan accompanied
with OSCE MG American Co-Chair Steven Mann.
