Senator Simitian to speak on Nagorno Karabakh in U.S.
The US senator heading a delegation of California Senate lawmakers on their visit to Baku has said he would provide information about the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict over Nagorno Karabakh in the United States.
Speaking to reporters, Senator Joe Simitian also expressed hope that the long-standing dispute would soon be resolved.
"We are a legislative body within the US political system and do not form foreign policy," he said. "But we will deliver information and different points of view regarding the conflict in the U.S. We hope that the conflict will find its solution in line with the frames of international law and as soon as possible."
Azerbaijan and Armenia waged a war in the early 1990s. Armenian troops have occupied over 20 percent of Azerbaijan’s territory since then. A ceasefire accord was signed in 1994, but OSCE-brokered peace talks have been largely fruitless so far.
The U.S. co-chairs the OSCE Minsk Group brokering peace talks, along with France and Russia.
