U.S. authorities believe presence of Russian peacekeepers in Nagorno Karabakh poses a risk of destabilization
U.S. authorities believe that the presence of Russian peacekeepers in Nagorno Karabakh poses a risk of destabilization in the region.
This was claimed by U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Political-Military Affairs R. Clarke Cooper at the briefing.
“In such cases Russia’s presence poses a risk of destabilization,” he said in response to the question of an Azerbaijani journalist on how the United States intends to counteract the Russian influence in the region.
“It undoubtedly is a challenge to all states and parties involved,” Cooper said.
He also stressed that the USA pays special attention to the humanitarian issues in the region.
