We have been through many years an active participant of the Minsk
Group process and we see that process as the appropriate avenue,
U.S. Charge d’Affairs in Armenia, Mr Joseph Pennington said in an
interview with PanARMENIAN.Net.

"We were very pleased to see from statements through governments
that the last meeting went well. And we hope that that meeting is
something that can be built upon. We expect the co-chairs back in the
region probably by the end of this month to start the next round of
the process. But in our view, of course, there is no alternative. And
we will continue working very hard with our partners," he said.

Asked what will be the reactions of the United States if Azerbaijan
starts war, Mr. Pennington said, "I am afraid that’s just a
hypothetical question that I can’t really answer. But we would expect
and hope that that hypothetical never comes to pass."
