Minister Elmar Mammadyarov and U.S. Under Secretary of State for
Political Affairs Nicholas Burns stressed the necessity of progress
in the Nagorno Karabakh conflict resolution.

When commenting on the outcomes of the meeting Mr Burns said, "I
met with Armenian Foreign Minister not long ago. We will continue
these debates and we hope that we will give impetus to progress in
the settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. We exchanged views
on energy issue later on."

"At the meeting with Mr Mammadyarov we spoke about Iran. I informed
the Azerbaijani Minister that U.S. will continue to support sanctions
against Iran in UN Security Council. We oppose the Iranian government’s
efforts for arming and financing HAMAS, Hezbollah and other armed
groupings in Iraq and Afghanistan," he said, APA reports.
