United States) are encouraged by the constructive approach of the
leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan as they seek to finalize a set of
basic principles for the resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict.

a lasting, peaceful resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict.
The presidents are defending their national interests vigorously, and
they are doing so in a way that allows the peace process to continue
moving forward.
The Co-Chairs urge all parties to sustain this momentum in the
negotiations and to prepare their publics for the necessary
compromises.
At the same time, the Co-Chairs urge continued pursuit of
confidence-building measures and maintenance of the ceasefire to
increase the level of trust and understanding between the sides, the
U.S embassy press service told the APA.
