Simmons states that Azerbaijan is on an open road on its way to NATO

According to him, NATO is not the party involved in this conflict, therefore, the structure he represents "only follows the peaceful process within the OSCE Minsk Group". "We are confident that the Minsk Group will be able to find the solution shortly," said Simmons.

Touching upon the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC) oil pipeline security, the NATO special representative stated, that the Alliance is interested in this issue. Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey want to secure the pipeline safety and it is an actual problem.
