The head of the American Foreign Office has promised that the USA will take active part in the work of Minsk OSCE Group on Nagorno-Karabakh. Ms Clinton has also reminded that during the past three weeks the Department of State two times sent its representative to Azerbaijan within the efforts undertaken by the American party.
