U.S. TELLS AZERBAIJAN: NO MILITARY SOLUTION TO KARABAKH CONFLICT - ANCA
February 27, 2013 - 13:02 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - The Obama Administration told pro-Aliyev groups
which had initiated and promoted two highly inflammatory, anti-Armenian
petitions on the White House 'We the People' site, that "there cannot
be a military solution to the Nagorno Karabakh conflict." The White
House declined to issue a proclamation solicited by pro-Azerbaijan
groups.
"Thank you for sharing your views with the White House. While we will
not be issuing a Presidential Proclamation, the United States deeply
regrets the tragic losses of life in the war between Azerbaijan and
Armenia. It reminds us that there cannot be a military solution to
the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, and that only a lasting and peaceful
settlement can bring stability, prosperity, and reconciliation to the
region. As a Co-Chair of the Minsk Group, the United States remains
firmly committed to working with all sides to achieve peace."
ANCA Executive Director Aram Hamparian had cautioned the Obama
Administration against offering any response until the full extent
of the foreign manipulation of the "We the People" platform could
be determined.
"While a U.S. message of peace is particularly timely in light of the
Azerbaijani sniper attack which claimed the life of 21-year-old Gor
Kazaryan just last week, and the escalating war-rhetoric emanating
from the Aliyev Administration -- it should not be coming in response
to an obviously manipulative bid by a dictator to game the American
democratic system," Hamparian stated.
