The United States is ready to contribute to peaceful settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, but the first step must come from the conflicting parties themselves, said Daniel Fried, Coordinator for Sanctions Policy at the US Department of State, speaking to the Voice of America Armenian service.

As per Fried, the parties have to decide what they want. And if they want peace, the United States will be ready to help.

In the US State Department official’s view, however, the governments of the countries involved in the Karabakh conflict do not seem interested enough in a final resolution of the problem.

According to Daniel Fried, the problem is that the authorities are beginning to feel too comfortable under the condition of the existence of the Karabakh conflict, and they are thinking short-term, not long-term.

The US State Department official added that in case of relevant willingness by the parties, the US is ready—along with France and Russia—to provide the necessary assistance to them, to achieve a lasting settlement of this conflict.
