    FRIED: KARABAKH SITUATION NOT AS HOPELESS, AS IT SEEMED IN RAMBOUILLET

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ "The situation over settlement of the Nagorno
    Karabakh conflict is not as hopeless, as it seemed right after
    Rambouillet," US Assistant State Secretary Daniel Fried said. In
    his words, Armenian and Azeri Presidents Robert Kocharian and Ilham
    Aliyev did not manage to agree over settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh
    conflict, thus many people thought, "There will be war there and
    horrible things will happen."

    The US Assistant State Secretary reminded that he visited Baku and
    Yerevan along with OSCE MG co-chair Steven Mann soon after Rambouillet.

    "We had series of useful and effective talks with Azeri and Armenian
    authorities, we lately met with Armenian FM Vartan Oskanian and Azeri
    Deputy FM Araz Azimov. Both governments provided us with certain
    material for working. Thus, the situation is not hopeless," Fried
    added. "It is important for both parties to realize they cannot fully
    attain their goals. None of the countries can get the maximum.

    Simultaneously, it cannot happen than any of the countries gets
    nothing," Fried remarked.

    Besides, he remarked that in case of resumption of the war Baku
    should not hope for profiting from oil and gas export. "Azerbaijan
    expects much money from oil and gas export, however, it will be the
    case if there is peace. If there is war, there will be no money. Is
    it clear? Just look at the map. You know what I am speaking about,"
    Fried said.
