The Armenian Diaspora of the United States of America slated the ideas
of the U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry voiced by him in Turkey
that this country must strengthen its role in the resolution of the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. However, as a congressman John Kerry had
always been one of those who supported the Armenian diaspora and
lobby.
As a congressman, John Kerry expressed the views of his electorate,
and now he acts on behalf of the national interests of the United
States, Director of the Center for Strategic Studies (CSS) under the
President of Azerbaijan Farhad Mammadov told Trend.
Strengthening of the influence of Turkey in some regions, such Middle
East, the Black Sea and the South Caucasus, fits with the national
interests of the USA, and with the support of Turkey the United States
act in accordance with their interests in these regions.
We would like to believe that the strengthening of the role of Turkey
in the South Caucasus will be directly linked to the resolution of the
Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, the Director of the
CCA said.
According to Mammadov, Turkey is still indirectly involved in the
resolution of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. First, Turkey is one of 11
members of the OSCE Minsk Group. Second, Turkey closed the border with
Armenia after the occupation of Kalbajar region of Azerbaijan.
Considering all these, we can only welcome if the United States
supports Turkey in resolution Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Mammadov
added.
