The United States seeks to achieve the settlement of the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict based on the core principles of the Helsinki
Final Act, Eric Rubin, the US deputy assistant secretary for European
and Eurasian affairs.
"The United States remains committed to working with the parties,
as a Co-Chair of the OSCE Minsk Group, to achieve a lasting and
peaceful settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict based upon three
core principles of the Helsinki Final Act: the non-use or threat
of force, territorial integrity of states, and equal rights and
self-determination of peoples," the US official told the Azerbaijani
news agency APA in an interview.
"While the Basic Principles were not finalized in Kazan, Presidents
Aliyev and Sargsian, in their joint statement with President
Medvedev following the Kazan Summit, noted that they reached mutual
understanding on a number of issues. They also agreed to continue
to work on the Basic Principles as a framework for a comprehensive
peace settlement. With the assistance of the OSCE Minsk Group Chairs,
the parties continue to work to find common ground. The United States
remains engaged in the Minsk Group process - at the highest levels -
to assist the sides in clarifying their positions and bridging the
differences needed to reach agreement," Rubin said.
