'Durable Peace Possible': State Dept Says 'Deeply Engaged' On Azerbaijan-Armenia Talks
The United States continues to believe that a durable peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan is possible, the State Department said on Thursday, TURAN's Washington correspondent reports.
"It’s something that the department will continue to work towards," Principal Deputy spokesperson Vedant Patel told a daily briefing in response to TURAN's questions about the current state of peace process following Special Advisor Louis Bono's talks in the region this week.
"Obviously, Coordinator Bono, the Secretary [pf State], and others continue to be deeply engaged on this," Patel added.
In the meantime, he refrained from previewing any upcoming plans or conversations.
Earlier on Thursday, James O'brien, assistant secretary of state in charge of Eurasia, also expressed Washington's intention to continue supporting the peace process. "There are more to work through, and to the extent we can be helpful as they do, we’re happy to support."
Separately, the State Department on Thursday also announced Secretary Blinken's upcoming travel to Davos next week, saying that he will meet with leaders to discuss issues of global concern, including Washington's commitment to transatlantic security and the rules-based international order.
It wasn't immediately clear whether Blinken will meet with Azerbaijani or Armenian leaders at Davos.
