â€œI am very happy to back in Baku... Iâ€™ve come to have meeting with President Aliyev and Minister of Foreign Affairs Mammadyarov. As President Aliyev said, we are really at a decisive stage in Nagorno-Karabakh peace process. And we need to reestablish the momentum, the momentum which was lost during last couple of months of this year. So, I will be reassuring the president in our interest in relations with Azerbaijan, not only bilateral relations but also in the context of Nagorno-Karabakh and our commitment to make any progress. The US is ready to do what we can make progress in a peace processâ€, said Bradtke while giving interview to journalists at Haydar Aliyev International Airport.
The diplomat also noted that he would speak about other details after the meetings.
