Blinken 'Looks Forward To' Hosting Bayramov, Mirzoyan In Washington 'Soon': James O’Brien
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken "looks forward to hosting foreign ministers Bayramov and Mirzoyan in Washington soon for peace negotiations," chief U.S. diplomat for Europe and Eurasia James O’Brien posted on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, following his meeting with Azerbaijani president Ilham Aliyev yesterday.
"As I told President Aliyev, the U.S. welcomes visits by the Central Bank Governor and Energy Minister," the assistant secretary also noted, calling his meeting in Baku "positive and constructive."
The State Department on Wednesday refrained from adding anything to the tweet.
"I haven’t spoken to Assistant Secretary O’Brien since the conclusion of that meeting or had a detailed readout of it, so I don’t have anything to add," Spokesperson Matthew Miller told a daily briefing when asked by TURAN's Washington correspondent.
Azerbaijan had announced on November 15th that it had cancelled a scheduled meeting with Armenia on Nov. 20 in Washington due to the "one-sided approach of the United States," as the country's Foreign Ministry put it. It wasn't immediately clear when the next meeting would be held.
