The United States Embassy to Azerbaijan has commented upon Uruguay's
recent statement on the recognition of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic
(NKR).
Reiterating the country's stance on the issue, Kit Bin, a spokesperson
for the Embassy, told the Azerbaijani news agency 1news.az that the
United States considers the principles in the Helsinki Final Act
(territorial integrity, self-determination of peoples and refusal to
use force or threat of force) to be the basis of a peaceful and fair
settlement of the conflict.
"The United States, as a co-chairing country of the OSCE Minsk Group,
is willing to assist the parties to achieve peace and fair settlement
based on those principles," he said.
As for Uruguay Foreign Minister Luis Almagro's recent statement,
Bin refrained from making any comment, considering it a bilateral
issue between Uruguay and Azerbaujan.
"The United States does not comment on other countries bilateral
statements," he said.
