ArmInfo. If the settlement  of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict were simple, it would have been  resolved long ago. This was announced on October 25 in Yerevan by US  Presidential Adviser on National Security John Bolton, answering the  question of who will be responsible for the physical security of  Armenians in the event of the transfer of territories around  Nagorno-Karabakh to Azerbaijan, especially considering the fact that  the international community silently watched the Genocide of  Armenians in 1915.

"My visit is not aimed at announcing changes in the US policy on this  issue or proposing new solutions. Of course, the parties should be  able to work with each other and find a solution. So, one of my  former leaders, Jim Becker, speaking of another conflict, said the  following words: "Probably no one wants peace like the parties  themselves. For Armenia, the surest way to reduce external pressure  is to ensure the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, "he  stressed.

Answering the question, what changes have occurred in the conflict  resolution process, and what document is on the agenda of discussions  today, Trump's adviser said he did not want to make predictions.

He stated that Armenia emphasizes its commitment to resolving the  conflict within the framework of the OSCE Minsk Group, which is good.  Bolton recalled that in the past there were many discussions between  the parties. "I would like to again quote Jim Becker's words that the  parties should be able to speak on any topics, and if something is  offered, it's not necessary that it be accepted. But it's not  necessary to limit the discussion," he said.

At the same time, Bolton expressed the conviction that if Nikol  Pashinyan won a victory in the upcoming elections and his party  received the necessary mandate, this would be a good opportunity o  take decisive steps, including the implementation of measures to  resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. "And if there is readiness,  then we must work to ensure that there is also a reaction from the  Azerbaijani side," the adviser to the US president concluded.
