YEREVAN, 20.10.08. DE FACTO. The U.S. supports territorial integrity
of any states, as one of the principles of the international law. The
right of nations to self-determination is an equipollent principle,
the U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian
Affairs stated, PanARMENIAN.Net reports.

In the course of a press conference held in Yerevan Daniel Fried
stated, in part, "The most difficult task is to combine these two
principles for resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict". "It’s
clear that each party should compromise. And it’s the wish of
the Unites States to see Azerbaijan, Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh
developing in peace", he added.

According to the U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for European and
Eurasian Affairs, "Baku knows that resolution of the conflict by use
of force is inadmissible. The OSCE Minsk Group format is efficient
and some progress has already been fixed".

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
