U.S. does not see any alternative to the peace talks over Nagorno-Karabakh issue that should lead to a peaceful solution to the conflict, U.S. Embassy Charge d'affaires Donald Lu told journalists on Tuesday.

“Peace negotiations require political will from both sides. But Azerbaijani people must be sure that the United States led by its leaders — President Obama, Secretary of State Clinton are committed to resolve this conflict,” Trend News quotes Lu as saying.

He also touched upon the appointment of new U.S. Ambassador to Azerbaijan. U.S. diplomat noted that the absence of U.S. Ambassador is not a peculiar manifestation of bilateral relations, but is indicative of bureaucratic hurdles of the system.

Mr. Lu also believes U.S. Ambassador will arrive in Azerbaijan shortly. He pointed out that he is an experienced diplomat, APA reports.
