US Temporary Plenipotentiary in Armenia Josef Pennington: "The United States rule out armed way of the resolution of Nagorno Karabakh conflict"

The due announcement was made by US temporary plenipotentiary in Armenia Josef Pennington, commenting on the recent rumors that after the events in Georgia Russia and the United States will leave the OSCE Minsk Group.

Pennington noted that no statement of the US intentions to quit the Minsk Group had been made by any official of the United States. Speaking about Baku's statements and possibility of a new military conflict in the South Caucasus, Pennington noted that a new war in the region would be a disaster.

"We continue working persistently to prevent such developments and I consider that the powers of Armenia and Azerbaijan are aware that the war will be destructive. Armed way is not a variant for the conflict resolution", noted Pennington.
