Territorial integrity and right of nations to self-determination equal for U.S.

PanARMENIAN.Net - The U.S. supports territorial integrity of any states, as one of the principles of the international law. The right of nations to self-determination is an equipollent principle, U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs said.



"The most difficult task is to combine these two principles for resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict," Daniel Fried told a news conference in Yerevan. "It's clear that each party should compromise. And it's the wish of the Unites States to see Azerbaijan, Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh developing in peace."



"Baku knows that resolution of the conflict by use of force is inadmissible. The OSCE Minsk Group format is efficient and some progress has already been fixed," Mr. Fried said.
