Washington highlights agreements on Nagorno Karabakh from Vienna and Saint Petersburg meetings

The US supports the agreements on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict from Vienna and Saint Petersburg meetings and do everything for the comprehensive settlement of the conflict, Bridget Brink, Deputy Assistant Secretary in the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs told during an interview with Aysor.am and Armenia TV Chanel.

“We are trying to be supportive both through co-Chairs and my Secretary of State and we strongly support moving forward the few agreements from the May meeting in Vienna and the June meeting in Saint Petersburg to move forward in both of those confidence building measures and also discussion on a comprehensive settlement,” noted the State Department official.

Bridget Brink next stressed that the Nagorno Karabakh conflict hinders the ability for Armenia to fully take advantage of its geographic location.

“Resolution to that [NK conflict]has great potential to Armenia’s economic growth and strength. Because it could open up pathways, both geographic pathways and other connections which could help this whole region,” she said.

“We strongly support economic development, both in Armenia but also regionally. I mean Armenia is very importantly located in a region that is a crossroads, from the East to the West. And developing that as a possible crossroads for goods, people, services, is very important,” said the State Department official.
