BAKU. Oct 16 (Interfax) - The statements on the situation in Nagorno-Karabakh made by U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on the WSB Atlanta television channel are not in line with the official position of Washington or the status of the United States in the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) Minsk Group on Karabakh settlement, the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry said on Friday.
"The Azerbaijani side believes that remarks by the U.S. Secretary of State are not in line with the numerous official statements made by the U.S. Government regarding the conflict on previous occasions. These remarks also do not correspond to the status of the U.S. as one of the Co-Chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group," the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
