"One of the major problems is that both Azerbaijan and Armenia expect
super powers, big states, especially US to make more efforts"
Baku. Shamil Alibeyli - APA. "I know how painful the Nagorno Karabakh
problem is for the Azerbaijanis. I know that almost 99 percent of
the Azerbaijanis share common position on Nagorno Karabakh problem. I
understand how disappointed the Azerbaijani people are as the problem
remains unsolved for more than 20 years," US Ambassador to Azerbaijan
Richard Morningstar said at the meeting with the students of Azerbaijan
State Economic University, APA reports.
Ambassador said the US, as a Minsk Group co-chair, has been working
on this issue for 20 years.
"We will work jointly with the Minsk Group and do our best to achieve
the solution of the problem. I believe one of the major problems is
that both Azerbaijan and Armenia expect super powers, big states,
especially US to make more efforts. When I visit the regions people
ask me why the problem is not solved. If the solution of Nagorno
Karabakh had been easy, we would have done it. I believe that it can
be solved only when the conflicting parties make firm decision to
solve the problem once and for all," he said.
Ambassador hopes that at the upcoming meeting the presidents will
make a decision to solve the problem and come to an agreement on
certain issues.
Asked about the US financial aid to Nagorno Karabakh, Richard
Morningstar said it is done in line with the mandate of the Congress
and it is humanitarian aid.
"Moreover, the amount is not so big," he said.
