Hillary Clinton 'The visit of US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
is important since it "underlined" the Nagorno Karabakh conflict in
the agenda of the US and West.
I hope it will mark the start of the new period of the more intensive
participation of US in the resolution of the conflict', said Alexandros
Peterson.
He said the conflict parties are in a difficult state in terms of the
negotiation process and the diplomatic step by the United States in
this situation would be quite desirable.
'Nevertheless, Baku and Yerevan, supported by three co-chairs of
the Minsk Group, should have developed the mechanism of the Karabakh
conflict settlement'.
As for the differences in US and Russian positions on the resolution
of the Karabakh conflict, the expert said the following:
'It is merely impossible to imagine an even clearer difference in
the US and Russian approaches. The United States as an actor of
international policy treats its role of a mediator seriously and
tries to be maximally neutral in this issue even despite the useless
attempts of the Congress to interfere.
At the same time, though Russia has held a number of high
level meetings as a co-chair, it supports Armenia with arms and
diplomatically. I think Moscow's role in the resolution of the Karabakh
conflict has always hampererd progress but the improvement of bilateral
ties between US and Russia may lead to a more productive attitude of
the Russian leadership'.
