President Barack Obama with recently appointed U.S. co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group, Ambassador James Warlick
YEREVAN (Arka)—U.S. president Barack Obama sent a letter to president of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev, which reads as follows, according to the official website of the Azerbaijani president, Novosti-Armenia reports.
“Dear Mr. President,
On the occasion of his first official visit to Baku, I would like to convey to you my full support for Ambassador James Warlick as the new U.S. co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group. His recent appointment is a strong signal of the United States’ enduring and unequivocal commitment to helping the sides reach a peaceful resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
It is my hope that Ambassador Warlick’s wealth of diplomatic experience and your government’s desire for progress will bring new energy to the co-chairmanship, and to the peace process. I support your efforts to take advantage of opportunities for direct dialogue with Armenia in the months ahead, and to avail yourself of the co-chairs` time and expertise to move beyond the current impasse in negotiations. With the outlines of a compromise already well established, now is the time for a renewed effort to bring peace to the region.”
