A senior U.S. official has said the dispute between Armenia and Azerbaijan over the Nagorno-Karabakh enclave could be resolved within the next two months.

U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Daniel Fried, in an exclusive interview with RFE/RL’s Armenian Service correspondent Ruzanna Stepanian, said that “there are hard decisions that have to be made on both sides. If this conflict were easy to resolve, it would have been resolved already.”

Fried noted that Yerevan and Baku were once close to reaching a peace deal in 2001 when the presidents of both countries held U.S.-mediated talks in Key West. The deal fell through in the following weeks.

The United States, France, and Russia have been attempting to negotiate a settlement of the conflict in the framework of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe’s (OSCE) Minsk Group.
