U.S. hopes for quick progress in Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, said U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Philip Gordon, Azerbaijani APA news agency reports.

According to him, OSCE Minsk Group is actively engaged in Karabakh peace process.

“We think this is mutually important and I do hope that we can make progress very soon on it. It is important to us. There are some basic understandings of the basic principles that would be necessary to resolve this conflict, and I believe all of the parties would benefit if there were a resolution of the conflict,” Gordon told APA.

South Caucasus, Middle East, Iran’s nuke program and other regional issues are some of the EU-U.S. cooperation fields, Gordon underlined at the hearings under “The Lisbon Treaty: Implications for Future Relations between the European Union and the United States” head, APA says.
