J. Warlick: US Administration Shows No Interest In Karabakh conflict
Former Co-Chair of the OSCE Minsk Group James Warlick said he sees no evidence of the current U.S. administration’s interest in the Karabakh conflict.
His remark came during the panel discussion "Frozen Conflicts and the Kremlin’s Agenda" that was hosted by Atlantic Council.
"There is interest in Moscow in supporting confidence building measures. The US government needs to engage in that. The last administration began that, but I see no evidence in this administration of any interest in Nagorno-Karabakh," he said, adding that the current representative to the OSCE Minsk Group at least deserves to have a personal rank of the ambassador, reports News.am.
James Warlick said he would like to see U.S., Russia and France to working collaboratively on things that can be achieved now: people-to-people contacts and confidence building measures.
"I do think there is an opportunity to begin discussion of what peacekeeping force would look like," he added.
Former co-chair believes that in case of Karabakh conflict, it is not within Moscow's power alone to resolve the conflict. Unlike perhaps other conflicts, Russia and U.S. have some common interest in Karabakh, that is unstable situation and military engagement is not in the interest of both countries.
"A kind of settlement that Lavrov suggested is not that different from the kind of settlement we would have if we sit down and write an agreement," he said.
