Armenia
WASHINGTON, DC. - Negotiations on Karabakh issue registered "one step
backward" from the point of view of OSCE peaceful efforts, Assistant
Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs Alexander
Vershbow stated on Thursday.
Vershbow believes that Kazan meeting did not secure "progress" in
negotiations of Karabakh issue. Besides, "the intensity increases
in the contact line of both sides." Armenia and Azerbaijan "cannot
conclude agreement on Basic Principles for Karabakh issue as before
and we face unconstructive and dangerous deadlock situation,"
ITAR-TASS reports.
Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Philip
Gordon also stated that Obama's administration approves that OSCE
has direct contact in "frozen" conflict regulation processes in the
territories of post Soviet Union.
"OSCE should continue its direct contact in prolonged conflict
regulation processes for Georgia, Moldova and Nagorno-Karabakh.,"
Gordon stated. "Those conflicts have destructive potential, which can
destabilize security in the territory of OSCE. Overcoming the conflicts
should be high priority for OSCE and its member states," he added.
