‘We [Azerbaijan] hope that the Unite states will increase pressures
on Armenia in the Nagorno-Karabakh issue, Ali Hassanov, the head
of the Public-Political Department of the President’s Apparat,
told journalists.

He noted that any event taken place in the South Caucasus region,
Caspian and Black sea basins is in the focus of Azerbaijan, as a
regional country and also the United States, as the world power.

Therefore, during the talks in Washington the Presidents of Azerbaijan
and the United States will state their standpoint on the issues of
energy, security in the South Caucasus region, as well as Iran.

“Azerbaijan hopes that the United States, as an OSCE Minsk Group
co-chair, will increase pressures on the Armenian government,
support intensive talks under the international rule of law and
take every effort to make Armenia to take a constructive position,”
Hassanov stressed.
