US keen on fair presidential vote
US ambassador in Baku Anne Derse has said Washington was striving
to provide favorable conditions for a free presidential election in
Azerbaijan in October 2008.
"We are working both with international groups to act as observers at the polls and with the Azerbaijani government to ensure the conduct of the most democratic vote yet," she told reporters.
With regard to the Armenia-Azerbaijan Upper (Nagorno) Garabagh dispute, Derse said the White House was working to achieve the adoption of decisions aimed at reaching peace that would suit both parties to the long-standing conflict.
"A negotiated solution will allow to capitalize on the potential of the region, and Azerbaijan in particular," the ambassador added.
