"Assistant Secretary [of State] Karen Donfried spoke with foreign minister [Jeyhun] Bayramov this morning, and expressed concern over Azerbaijani military movements. She emphasized the U.S.' commitment to Armenia-Azerbaijan peace negotiations," principal deputy spokesperson Vedant Patel told TURAN's correspondent during a daily press briefing.
