/PanARMENIAN.Net/ War will become a catastrophe for Azerbaijan’s
future, US Assistant Secretary Daniel Fried stated to the Azeri service
of RFE RL. Answering the question if the hope for the Nagorno Karabakh
conflicts settlement has become less and if presidents of Armenia and
Azerbaijan have missed such an opportunity, taking into account the
fact that soon in both countries presidential campaigns will launch,
Daniel Fried said, "I do not want to criticize, but I think we all
are disappointed. The last meeting of presidents did not produce any
results that we were expecting. There were good talks, I would even say
a good dialog, a certain progress was fixed". He expressed hope that
"in a certain stage the presidents would find a common way to move
forward". "After all, it proceeds from the interests of all parties.

Azerbaijan’s future is vague until this problem is resolved,"
the American diplomat underlined. He expressed assurance that the
Nagorno Karabakh conflict can be resolved only via peaceful way. War
will destroy Azerbaijan’s future. Peaceful solution of the Karabakh
problem is the way to go through. We have passed such a way and I hope
we will reach the solution of the problem," Daniel Fried concluded.
