Baku unhappy with U.S. role in Karabakh peace process

BAKU April 16

The United States has not been making a serious contribution to
efforts aimed at resolving the conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh,
Azerbaijani presidential administration spokesman Ali Hasanov told
journalists on Friday.

"The U.S. has not been making any serious attempts as part of the
Karabakh settlement process. We have not seen such attempts," Hasanov
said.

"Society has already started to protest against the participation of
the U.S. in the OSCE Minsk Group because it has given nothing to
Azerbaijan," the spokesman said.

"Instead of making Armenia abandon its occupation policy, the U.S.

is trying to help Armenia emerge out of its economic crisis. That is
why no one should be reproached for making anti-American remarks," he
said.
