/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Nagorno Karabakh conflict holds Azerbaijan and
Armenia in a state of neither peace, nor war, says a statement by
US Under-Secretary of State for Political Affairs, head of the US
delegation at the OSCE FMs’ meeting Nicholas Burns. "The unsolved
Nagorno Karabakh conflict prevents return of hundreds of thousands
of refugees and forced migrants. That conflict keeps the borders
of Armenia and Azerbaijan closed and increases alienation between
neighboring nations," the US representative believes. "We thank Russia,
France and OSCE MG co-chairs. We have developed a rational approach
along with Azeri and Armenian leaders. It promises to lead to solution
of the conflict via talks. Our organization should now urge the leaders
of the countries to come to an accord," Burns said, reports Trend.
