    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ During her Senate confirmation hearing
    today, Ambassador-designate Anne Derse reiterated U.S. policy
    for a peaceful, mutually acceptable resolution to the Nagorno
    Karabakh conflict, stating that "a return to violence would be a
    tragedy." Ambassador-designate Anne Derse responded that if confirmed,
    she will work toward expanding and strengthening U.S.-Azerbaijan
    security cooperation and help promote democracy and governance. She
    said a peaceful settlement to the Nagorno Karabakh conflict is critical
    to achieving this goal and expressed hope that President of Armenia
    Robert Kocharian and President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev will work
    together on this issue. She further stated that as Co-Chair of the
    OSCE Minsk Group, the U.S. will also urge Armenia and Azerbaijan to
    remain engaged in the process and demonstrate political courage. Derse
    also expressed her commitment to work with both countries towards a
    peaceful resolution, reports the Armenian Assembly of America.
