16:43, 16 January, 2013
YEREVAN, JANUARY 16, ARMENPRESS. The OSCE Minsk group is not a judge,
but a mediator in the procedure of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict
regulation. As reports "Armenpress" Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary
Ambassador of the United States to the Republic of Armenia John Heffern
stated this during the meeting held in the U.S. Congress, answering
on a question how the OSCE Minsk Group can help find solution of the
Nagorno Karabakh conflict, when the Azerbaijani president constantly
poses threats and voices Anti-Armenian statements. As reports
"Voice of America" radio station Heffern stated that it's necessary
to open the Armenian-Turkish border and underscored the significance
of strengthening the economic ties.
Among other things the Ambassador of the Unites States spoke about
the Armenian Genocide and stated that the higher instances of the
United States and selected political figures can qualify the events of
1915 and that this issue cannot be defined by separate ambassadors or
Washington. Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador of the United
States to the Republic of Armenia John Heffern noted: "Political
relations between Armenia and the United States are strong enough,
and the recent visit of the United States Secretary of State Hilary
Clinton to the Republic of Armenia is to prove this."
In Heffern's opinion the Embassy of the United States to Yerevan
targets supporting Armenia to become a democratic, prosperous, and
secure country.
