diplomat
MADRID Nov 29
U.S. Under Secretary of State Daniel Nicholas Burns has said he is
confident that the Armenian-Azeri conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh will
be resolved peacefully.
The United States has been actively assisting in the settlement of
the conflict within the framework of the OSCE Minsk Group on Nagorno-
Karabakh, Burns told reporters on Thursday.
The Minsk Group’s co-chairmen met with the Armenian and Azeri foreign
ministers on Thursday, Burns said, adding that "this was a very
important meeting".
The American side laid out its proposals on key issues, he said.
The Minsk Group is a successful example of how Russia, the United
States and France can cooperate in conflict prevention, Burns said.
