Top official: 'U.S. may influence Karabakh conflict settlement'

If the U.S. has the political will, it can seriously influence the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Azerbaijani parliament deputy chairman Bahar Muradova told reporters on Thursday.

"It is not worth widely touching upon U.S. influence in the settlement of conflicts in the world, since this role is obvious. If there is political will, the U.S. has the opportunity to influence the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict," Muradova said.

She said the statements made ??by Hillary Clinton, inspire some optimism, and a new U.S. attitude to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict gives hope for its settlement.

"This will be reflected in the ministerial meeting to be held in Paris. What is clear is that this problem is beginning to worry everyone. Without settling the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, the U.S. will not be able to secure its interests in the region," Muradova said.
