The United States believes it is important that Armenia and Azerbaijan discuss and resolve issues directly to benefit the region.

Spokesperson for the U.S. Department of State Matthew Miller said his country continues to engage the leadership of both countries and offer to facilitate a dignified and durable peace where the rights of all are respected.

“It is important that Armenia and Azerbaijan discuss and resolve issues directly to benefit the region,” Miller told a briefing on Monday, November 20.

“We would welcome a role in facilitating those talks. We’ve seen other countries offer to facilitate those talks. We think it’s important that the two countries talk face to face to reach a durable agreement.”
