The US is extremely dissatisfied with the large role of Russia in the settlement of the military conflict in Karabakh. Now they intend to restore their economic and political influence in the region.
As US Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs George Kent said during his speech at the Caspian Political Center in Washington, he is frightened by Russia’s growing influence in Karabakh. The plans of Iran and China are also alarming. The Turkish edition of Milliyet drew attention to this.
According to the diplomat, in order to confront competitors, the American White House must regain its place in the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh issues. According to Kent, the United States has the resources to influence the region’s economy and energy security.
Thus, he is confident that the American authorities need to actively oust Russia from Karabakh. Also, the United States should gradually take over the role of a peacemaker in the region on itself.
Meanwhile, other speakers of the Caspian Center in Washington called for Azerbaijan to be recognized as the “winner” of the confrontation in Karabakh.
