Yerevan, 15 September: US permanent representative in NATO Kurt Volker
stated in an interview to Mediamax that OSCE Minsk Group is a suitable
format for the settlement of the Nagornyy Karabakh conflict.
US diplomat said this, answering the question of the special
correspondent of Mediamax in Brussels on NATO’s possible stirring up
in the settlement of "frozen" conflicts.
"OSCE Minsk Group is a suitable format for the settlement, and the
issue is the political will of the sides, holding negotiations,"
Kurt Volker stated.
US Ambassador to NATO stated that the contacts between Armenia and
Turkey, which have been initiated, will have positive influence on
the process of Karabakh conflict settlement and the whole region
in general.
"Establishment of diplomatic relations between Armenia and Turkey and
the opening of the border will be positive for the region. Settlement
of the existing problems will create regional cooperation and benefit
the integration of the region into a wider global economy," Kurt
Volker stated in an interview to Mediamax.
