Baku/04.09.21/Turan: "There are still issues that are not regulated between Azerbaijan and Armenia. I cannot predict in advance how they will be resolved. The United States is eager to invite the parties to negotiations so that the issues are resolved fairly on an equal basis. This will take some time and efforts." This was stated today by the US Ambassador to Azerbaijan Lee Litzenberger who answered questions of journalists.
The Ambassador drew attention to the fact that during the 76th session of the UN General Assembly, US Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland met with the Foreign Ministers of Azerbaijan and Armenia.
