"We support the sovereignty and territorial integrity of both countries. We hope they will sign a durable peace treaty that recognizes such sovereignty and territorial integrity the sooner the better," State Department's Spokesperson Matthew Miller told a daily briefing when responding to TURAN's questions about the latest state of peace process.
He went on to add, "The parties have made significant progress over the past year. And we encourage them to maintain momentum, building on past negotiations, and concluding the agreement."
