For the United States, the conflict over Karabakh is an important
issue, and it is not realistic to say that the United States is eager
to resolve the conflict soon in the context of a possible campaign
against Iran. Thus Mher Shahgeldyan, Chair of the Committee of
Defense, Internal Affairs and National Security, explained the
activity and interest of the U.S. in the settlement of the conflict.

In his opinion, the settlement of the Karabakh conflict is important
for the United States in the context of regional policies, and is
viewed separately from the Iranian issue.

Mher Shahgeldyan says it is absolutely clear that the United States
seeks for a rapid settlement of the issue. In this regard the member
of parliament believes that Armenia should commend the efforts of
international organizations, the world, centers of power for the
settlement of the Karabakh conflict.

Mher Shahgeldyan particularly emphasized that the authors of these
efforts exclude application of force, which favors the stance of
Armenia.
