ArmInfo.Despite the efforts of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs in connection with the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, the peace talks are "deliberately delayed" by official Yerevan.
According to Azerbaijani media,Minister of Defense Zakir Hasanov said this during a meeting with US Ambassador to Azerbaijan Earle D. Litzenberger, referring to the military-political situation in the region. At the same time, the Minister noted with regret that while some leading states and international organizations in some conflict cases put pressure on the parties to conflicts, double standards are applied to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
In turn, Litzenberger stressed that during his activity he would make every effort to develop relations between countries. Stressing that the United States recognizes the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan and respects it, the American diplomat noted that his country is a supporter of a peaceful solution to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, adding that this is also important in terms of the development and security of the South Caucasus. Noting the strategic importance of cooperation between the United States and Azerbaijan, the ambassador brought to the attention that he was following the reforms carried out in the Azerbaijani army and highly appreciated the successes achieved in this area.
