YEREVAN. – The United States are intensifying their efforts on Karabakh issue, political analyst Manvel Sargsyan said.
He believes this can be explained by geopolitical reasons, namely necessity of finding solution to Karabakh conflict amid Crimea crisis.

The American side, in particular, Co-Chair James Warlick hinted at intensification of efforts, Sargsyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

As to address of the U.S. Embassy to those criticizing Warlick's remarks, the analyst said American side in fact  highlighted three equal possibilities for Karabakh settlement.

“Interestingly, the Americans pointed at three variants [a negotiated settlement,  unacceptable status quo, or war – ed.]. They could have other wordings, for example compromise or war, so they gave “broader” opportunities,” he emphasized.

In his latest speech James Warlick outlined U.S. position on the peace process, and presented six  elements that have to be part of peace agreement on Karabakh.
