The United States remains committed to helping secure a peaceful
resolution to the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, Matthew Bryza, the US
Assistant Secretary of State, told Trend in exclusive interview.

The Presidents met in Bucharest last weekend for intensive, detailed
negotiations. “Obviously, no breakthrough was reached, but we
continue to believe that 2006 represents a window of opportunity
if the Presidents can make difficult, courageous decisions to move
forward with a settlement,” he underlined.

Bryza also underlined that the United States is interested in
broadening our cooperation with Azerbaijan in all spheres. We already
enjoy excellent cooperation on military and security matters, energy
issues, and democratic and economic reform. President Aliyev’s visit
to Washington was very successful in advancing this cooperation and we
hope to deepen our cooperation still further in the weeks and months
to come, he stressed.
