ArmInfo. The Kosovo model for conflict resolution cannot be a precedent
for the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, because it is an individual process,
as Trend reports, Daniel Fried, the US Assistant Secretary of State for
Europe and Eurasia, said in a meeting with graduates of US universities
in Baku.

‘The United States are for the peaceful resolution of the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, because armed operations, irrespective of
the reasons, will be dangerous to both nations’, – Fried said.

He did not comment on the imbalance among the military forces in
the South Caucasus. Fried preferred to speak about the resolution of
conflicts. ‘It is necessary to establish stability in this region’,-
he stressed. The resolution of the conflict will help Azerbaijan
to become an economically and politically powerful country, the US
Assistant Secretary of State said.

The US grant policy is directed at assisting countries in their
establishment of a powerful and independent country.

Fried held meetings in Baku, met the Azerbaijani President Ilham
Aliyev, heads of some non-governmental organizations, opposition
parties and graduates of US Universities.
