Помощник Минобороны США:

Армения и Азербайджан сделали шаг назад в процессе карабахского урегулирования. Такое мнение выразил на слушаниях в Хельсинской комиссии США помощник министра обороны США по вопросам международной безопасности Александр Вершбоу.

Как сообщает ИТАР-ТАСС, Вершбоу отметил, что попытка обеспечить прорыв на переговорах в Казани 24 июня не увенчалась успехом, а “напряженность вдоль линии соприкосновения сторон возрастает”.

“Армения и Азербайджан по-прежнему не способны завершить согласование Основных принципов урегулирования конфликта, и мы остаемся в неконструктивной и опасной патовой ситуации”, - заявил американский политик.

В свою очередь, помощник госсекретаря США по вопросам Европы и Евразии Филипп Гордон выразил уверенность, что ОБСЕ должна продолжать играть непосредственную роль в урегулировании затяжных конфликтов в Грузии, Молдавии и Нагорном Карабахе. Он заметил, что “эти конфликты обладают разрушительным потенциалом, способным дестабилизировать безопасность в регионе ОБСЕ”.

“Урегулирование этих конфликтов должно оставаться высоким приоритетом для ОБСЕ и всех ее стран-участниц”, - заявил Гордон.
