He said very serious and constructive meetings had been held in Azerbaijan.
â€œI was very pleased when Ilham Aliyev underlined that he supported peaceful solution to Nagorno Karabakh problem. I reiterated at the meeting with President that the U.S. President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton supported peaceful solution to Nagorno Karabakh problem,â€ he said.

According to American diplomat, the next meeting of Azerbaijani and Armenian presidents, as well as the following steps will be known after the co-chairsâ€™ meeting in Moscow tomorrow.

To the question â€œDoes Armenia accept Madrid principles?â€ Robert Bradtke said the following:
â€œWe will continue discussions. There are important points, where common views are expressed. But some points had not been agreed yet,â€ he said.

Asked about Azerbaijanâ€™s unilateral refusal of the military exercise with the US, the diplomat mentioned that he had come to Azerbaijan in capacity of co-chair.
â€œThe main aim is to discuss Karabakh problem. But I want to mention that we are also cooperating with the Azerbaijani government in several other spheres, too,â€ he said.
