Assistant Secretary Karen Donfried and Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov "discussed the August 31 meeting in Brussels between President Aliyev and Prime Minister Pashinyan," a State Department spokesperson told TURAN's Washington correspondent on Tuesday.

"The Assistant Secretary underscored our strong support for the Azerbaijan-Armenia peace process and for the European Union’s efforts," the official said.

Donfried relayed that Senior Advisor for Caucasus Negotiations Ambassador Phil Reeker would travel to the region soon for consultations.
