Azerbaijani prisoners Dilgam Askerov and Shahbaz Guliyev, held by
Armenia, should be returned, the US Assistant Secretary of State
for European and Eurasian Affairs, Victoria Nuland, said at a press
conference in Baku today.

She said this should be done as a humanitarian gesture. “I will make
that point as well in Yerevan tomorrow,” Trend cited Nuland as saying.

Nuland also voiced US concern over the escalation of violence on
the contact line between Armenian and Azerbaijani troops. “We want
to see an end to violence, we want the parties to come back to the
negotiating table. We want to support this process,” she stressed.

“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
