"The U.S. efforts toward solving the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict through mediation of OSCE Minsk Group has a significant impact on strengthening of relations between Azerbaijan and Armenia," U.S. Deputy Secretary of State James Steinberg said at the 17th OSCE Ministerial Council in Athens.

He noted that as the OSCE Minsk Group co-chair, the United States is working for the once and for all solution to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, which will have a positive impact on stability and economic development in the region.

Steinberg added that the conflict settlement remained one of the issues focused by the OSCE and Corfu process was also directed toward this issue.

“The United States also has a number of proposals to develop new mechanisms to solve the conflict."
