U.S. committed to Armenia-Azerbaijan peace – State Department
The United States is committed to peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan and will continue to engage over the next months to facilitate dialogue between the two countries, U.S. State Department spokesperson Ned Price told a press briefing on Tuesday.
His comments came after the trilateral talks between Russian President Vladimir Putin, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev in Sochi on October 31.
“We are committed to Armenia-Azerbaijan peace and negotiations between the two countries. We believe direct dialogue is key to resolving issues and to reaching that lasting peace, and that lasting peace, by the way, that both countries have stated that they seek,” he said.
“So, we’ll continue to engage over the next months to facilitate discussions between Armenia and Azerbaijan, bilaterally, with partners, and through multilateral organizations as well.”
Asked whether phone calls or meetings between U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and the Armenian and Azerbaijani foreign ministers should be expected, Price replied: “I think all of that is on the table. We will do what it is we deem most useful to bring about the cause of lasting peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan.”
