“I support your efforts to take advantage of opportunities for direct dialogue with Armenia in the months ahead, and to avail yourself of the co-chairs’ time and expertise to move beyond the current impasse in negotiations,” APA agency quotes the statement.

President Obama said J. Warlick’s appointment “is a strong signal of the United States’ enduring and unequivocal commitment to helping the sides reach a peaceful resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.”
