/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The OSCE Minsk Group is the best structure for the
Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement, US Ambassador to Armenia John
Evans stated in Boston when commenting on the political and economic
development of Armenia. Touching upon the situation in Armenia John
Evans noted that the republic has chosen the right path of reforms,
democracy and economy development. As for the economic development of
Armenia, the US diplomat stressed the necessity of invigoration of
the tax and customs systems and noted of US’s readiness to render
assistance. According to John Evans, it is absolutely obvious that
Azerbaijan and Turkey are trying to isolate Armenia from the regional
cooperation and the blockade of the Armenian borders is the evidence
of their intentions. “In this context we realize the importance of
the southern border for Armenia, but there is anxiety connected with
the worsening of the US-Iran relations”, the Ambassador noted.
