“When it comes to resolving conflicts of such scale, appointments to such position are rarely random,” Larisa Alaverdyan , secretary of the parliamentary Heritage fraction told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter commenting on the possible changes in the Karabakh conflict talks in connection to the possible appointment of Tina Kaidanow as US co-chair of OSCE Minsk Group.
“Personally I have no rosy expectations. I do not rule out that appointment of Tina Kaidanow who served in Kosovo, is aimed at fostering certain illusions in Armenia,” Larisa Alaverdyan said.
According to her, the U.S. policy in regard to Nagorno Karabakh has not changed and remained the same as it was in 1990’s. “The essence of the U.S. policy on the Karabakh conflict settlement is reflected in the statements of the US co-chair of OSCE Minsk Group Matthew Bryza on Madrid principles,” Larisa Alaverdyan explained.
“Everything is on our shoulders and we must work hard for the fair resolution of the Karabakh conflict and the recognition of Nagorno Karabakh independence,” she said.
OSCE Minsk Group co-chair Matthew Bryza declared on August 10 in Tbilisi, that U.S. diplomat Tina S. Kaidanow, will assume the office of Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs, replacing him.
Successor of Bryza, Tina S. Kaidanow has worked for U.S. diplomatic mission in Kosovo for two years, then she assumed the office of the US ambassador in Kosovo. Earlier she worked as Deputy Chief of U.S. mission in Sarajevo for three years.
