"We welcome any good faith engagements that contribute to peace and stability for the people of the South Caucasus, regardless of where those talks happen or who is hosting them," State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller told TURAN's Washington correspondent during today's briefing.
In the meantime, he went on to add, "But that being said, we recognize the South Caucasus' delicate geographic position regarding Iran and Russia, but we have not found these countries to be reliable partners."
