ANS TV, Baku
26 Apr 06

[Presenter] We hope and expect that the USA will exert pressure
on Armenia in the Nagornyy Karabakh issue, the head of the
public-political department of the Azerbaijani presidential
administration, Ali Hasanov, has said.

[Ali Hasanov] We have hopes. You know that the USA is a co-chair of the
OSCE Minsk Group dealing with the Nagornyy Karabakh conflict. We not
only hope, but also expect the USA and the other co-chairs to increase
its pressure on the Armenian authorities, support the intensification
of peace talks on the basis of international law and persuade them
[Armenia] to take a constructive position. In any case, we expect
and hope for this.
