We [Azerbaijan] hope that the Unite states will increase pressures on Armenia in the Nagorno-Karabakh issue, Ali Hassanov, the head of the Public-Political Department of the Presidents Apparat, told journalists.
He noted that any event taken place in the South Caucasus region, Caspian and Black sea basins is in the focus of Azerbaijan, as a regional country and also the United States, as the world power. Therefore, during the talks in Washington the Presidents of Azerbaijan and the United States will state their standpoint on the issues of energy, security in the South Caucasus region, as well as Iran.
Azerbaijan hopes that the United States, as an OSCE Minsk Group co-chair, will increase pressures on the Armenian government, support intensive talks under the international rule of law and take every effort to make Armenia to take a constructive position, Hassanov stressed.
