US temporary plenipotentiary to Armenia Josef Pennington: "Washington does not consider it necessary to change the composition of the OSCE Minsk Group"

"Washington's position on the issue of Nagorno Karabakh conflict has not changed", said Pennington.

Thus, he commented on the opinion of the chief of department on Eurasian policy of the US Hudson University, who considers that taking into account the current relations between Russia and the United States, established following the events in South Ossetia, the participation of these two countries in the OSCE Minsk Group is senseless.

"This statement was made not by an official and it does not reflect the US policy in Nagorno Karabakh issue", said Pennington.
