Peace Between Armenia and Azerbaijan 'Priority', U.S. Says Ahead Of Washington Meetings
The United States on Tuesday reiterated its commitment to work with Azerbaijan and Armenia towards a peace agreement as both countries have been invited to Washington to attend the forthcoming NATO summit next week, TURAN's Washington correspondent reports.
"Let me just say broadly in the context of the issue in the South Caucasus, this is a priority for us, a priority for the Secretary [of State] and other officials across this [State] department," State Department's Principal Deputy Spokesperson Vedant Patel told a daily briefing when responding to TURAN's questions.
"I have no doubt that it’s something we’ll continue to work towards," he added.
Asked whether Washington was planning to bring the sides together on the margins of the NATO summit, the deputy spokesperson said,"I just don’t want to speak to the schedule yet."
As TURAN reported earlier, the Biden administration had invited Azerbaijan and Armenia, along with other NATO partners, to attend partnership events at the upcoming NATO summit in Washington, where they will have a chance to discuss regional cooperation as well as the efforts to conclude a peace agreement among themselves.
On Monday, Secretary of State Antony Blinken told a Washington audience that his country has 'invested intensely' with its own diplomacy in trying to help bring Azerbaijan and Armenia to a peace agreement, which he described as "achievable."
