U.S. Says Will Continue To Offer Its 'Good Offices' For Meetings Between Armenia, Azerbaijan
The U.S. ambassador to the OSCE on Tuesday reiterated Washington's intention to continue to host Azerbaijan-Armenia peace talks, TURAN's Washington correspondent reports.
"We, the United States, have consistently said that we would like to see a normalization of relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan. We have supported a number of talks over the course of the last year between Armenia and Azerbaijan," Ambassador Michael Carpenter told a virtual briefing organized by the State Department's Brussels Media Hub.
He went on to elaborate: "Secretary Blinken has been personally involved in this effort to try to find a peace agreement that would pave the way for normalization of relations, open communications and trade throughout the region, which we think is in the interests of all countries in the South Caucasus. And we will continue to support and offer our good offices for meetings between Armenia and Azerbaijan. Ultimately, it's up to the parties, of course, to avail themselves of those good offices or those offers of mediation to support their efforts to reach a normalization agreement. But we will continue to do this."
Ambassador Carpenter also mentioned that Washington supports the international principle of safe and dignified return of refugees and sustainable reintegration.
