Washington. Isabel Levine-APA. The US Government hopes for quick
progress in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement, US Assistant
Secretary of State Philip Gordon told APA’s Washington correspondent,
APA reports quoting Washington DC correspondent.

Mr. Gordon said the United States stand ready to help in any way
that it can. "The United States is certainly very much focused on it
and engaged in it, I would be reluctant to put a timetable on when I
think this problem would be resolved, but I do think there recently
has been progress," he added.

Assistant Secretary believes any contact and dialog among the parties
is a good thing, so the more of that the better".

According to him, Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is important itself
independently of any other issue, however, it remains one of the
main issues in the region as well as Energy and Turkey-Armenia
normalization.

"But, these three important matters should both support each other
and be separated. Because if these issues are mixed with each other,
it will be even more complicated" – US top official stated.

According to Mr. Gordon, Nagorno-Karabakh is also important "not
because we see it as a link to Turkey Armenian relationship, but
because it could be also a contribution to peace and stability in
the region, that both Azerbaijan and Armenia would benefit from. It
is something we care about and would like to see succeed".

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
