Fried: Kosovo model can't be precedent for Karabakh

PanARMENIAN.Net - "The U.S. supports a peaceful solution to the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. Irrespective of reasons, resumption of hostilities will be a calamity for both countries," Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Daniel Fried said at a meeting with Azerbaijani alumni of U.S. universities.



He said that U.S. keeps on cooperating with Azerbaijan and Armenia for a peaceful solution to the conflict.



"Kosovo model can't be a precedent for the settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict or any other conflict. The most important task is to establish stability in the region. Energy policy of Azerbaijan helps to this stabilization. Settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict will make Azerbaijan economically and politically stronger," he said, APA reports.
