"The U.S. doesn't press on either of the parties to the Nagorno Karabakh conflict," U.S. Assistant Secretary for the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs Daniel Fried stated yesterday in an interview with Armenia TV Channel. "The U.S. will admit any variant which will satisfy all the parties," he said. Besides, he noted that proceeding from security the U.S. render assistance to Azerbaijan. "However these funds cannot be used to the detriment of Armenia, they will be spent on the war on terror," he added.

Mr. Fried also noted that Washington is interested in Armenia's security and in this context the maintenance of parity in military aid to Armenia and Azerbaijan is essential.
