Yerevan/Mediamax/. U.S. Ambassador John Heffern said today that the
U.S. is ready to cooperate in any area where Armenia will demostrate a
political will.

He noted that there may be mutual interests, for instance, in the
security field.

“Being a CSTO member, Armenia simultaneously partners with NATO
benefitting from both directions. I think after Armenia’s membership
to the Eurasian Union, the West will continue cooperating with Armenia
on mutually beneficial terms in the economy field”, said the U.S.
Ambassador.

Touching upon the steps toward settlement of Nagorno Karabakh
conflict, John Heffern noted that the OSCE Minsk Goup Co-Chairs can’t
force the sides to do anything.

“‘The Co-Chairs do not tell the parties what to do. Their role is to
urge the sides to demostrate political will and find flexible
solutions reaching concessions”, he concluded.
