    Ambassador: Neither U.S., nor other state recognized independence of
    Nagorno-Karabakh


    8 October 2011, 12:48 (GMT+05:00) Azerbaijan, Baku, Oct. 8 / Trend

    U.S. Ambassador to Azerbaijan Matthew Bryza underscored neither the
    U.S., nor other state recognized the independence of Nagorno-Karabakh.
    The U.S. policy towards the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Azerbaijan and
    Armenia stayed the same, Bryza told journalists on Saturday.

    Speaking about California Senate Environmental Quality Committee
    chairman, Senator Joseph Simitian's visit to Nagorno-Karabakh, Bryza
    said generally he planned to visit Azerbaijan, Armenia and go home.
    Perhaps he changed his mind after he left Baku, Bryza said.

    He said Senator Simitian had a very productive visit to Azerbaijan.

    "During his visit, the possibility of his visiting to Nagorno-Karabakh
    never came up and nobody said anything about that. I never heard him
    mentioning about his possible travel to Nagorno-Karabakh. He did not
    asked my opinion."

    Earlier, the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry has included Simitian into
    the "black list" , as he illegally visited the occupied territories of
    Azerbaijan without permission from Azerbaijan's appropriate agencies.

    Simitian visited Nagorno-Karabakh, met with representatives of the
    separatist regime, the Armenian media reported.

    The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
    when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
    armed forces have occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan since 1992,
    including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and 7 surrounding districts.

    Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The
    co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia, France, and the U.S. - are
    currently holding the peace negotiations.
    Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four
    resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the
    surrounding regions.
