He was commenting on the upcoming meeting between the president of Azerbaijan and Armenia in St. Petersburg, Russia.
The ambassador said the US co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group James Warlick will also attend the meeting.
Asked whether or not the fact that the Azerbaijani and Armenian presidents are going to meet at the Russian president’s initiative would mean the US has taken a step back from the process, the ambassador replied. “First of all, I would like to note that the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict was one of the main topics of discussion during Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev’s visit to the US in late March. In addition, the sides came together in Vienna at the initiative and with the support of the US and Secretary of State John Kerry.”
