Washington pursues diplomacy between Azerbaijan, Armenia

Washington has been pursuing negotiations between Azerbaijan and Armenia, said the US Department of State Spokesperson Matthew Miller.

According to him, Secretary of State Antony Blinken has been having direct conversations with the president of Azerbaijan and the prime minister of Armenia.

"We’ve had a number of officials travel to the region – not just in the past week or 10 days since hostilities broke out but going back months and months and months. We have done everything we can to pursue diplomacy, but ultimately, remember, it’s up to the two parties here who are the parties that have direct disagreements," Miller said in a press briefing on September 27.

He added that ultimately Azerbaijan and Armenia have to agree to talk and they have to agree to ultimately come to some resolution.

"That’s what we’re going to do, is continue to play our part to facilitate that," Miller concluded.
