Yerevan/Mediamax/. U.S. Ambassador John Heffern said today that the U.S. is ready to cooperate in any area where Armenia will demostrate a political will.

He noted that there may be mutual interests, for instance, in the security field.

 

“Being a CSTO member, Armenia simultaneously partners with NATO benefitting from both directions. I think after Armenia's membership to the Eurasian Union, the West will continue cooperating with Armenia on mutually beneficial terms in the economy field'', said the U.S. Ambassador.

 

Touching upon the steps toward settlement of Nagorno Karabakh conflict, John Heffern noted that the OSCE Minsk Goup Co-Chairs can't force the sides to do anything.

 

“'The Co-Chairs do not tell the parties what to do. Their role is to urge the sides to demostrate political will and find flexible solutions reaching concessions”, he  concluded.
