Azerbaijan, Baku, April 19 / Trend, I. Izzet /
The Armenian Diaspora of the United States of America slated the ideas of the U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry voiced by him in Turkey that this country must strengthen its role in the resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. However, as a congressman John Kerry had always been one of those who supported the Armenian diaspora and lobby.
As a congressman, John Kerry expressed the views of his electorate, and now he acts on behalf of the national interests of the United States, Director of the Center for Strategic Studies (CSS) under the President of Azerbaijan Farhad Mammadov told Trend.
Strengthening of the influence of Turkey in some regions, such Middle East, the Black Sea and the South Caucasus, fits with the national interests of the USA, and with the support of Turkey the United States act in accordance with their interests in these regions.
We would like to believe that the strengthening of the role of Turkey in the South Caucasus will be directly linked to the resolution of the Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, the Director of the CCA said.
According to Mammadov, Turkey is still indirectly involved in the resolution of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. First, Turkey is one of 11 members of the OSCE Minsk Group. Second, Turkey closed the border with Armenia after the occupation of Kalbajar region of Azerbaijan.
Considering all these, we can only welcome if the United States supports Turkey in resolution Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Mammadov added.
