The US supports direct talks between Azerbaijan and Armenia, said the US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller during a briefing.

Axar.az reports citing foreign media.

“We welcome the reports about the parties continuing to engage in discussions themselves. We reiterate our conviction that Secretary Blinken made clear last week that peace is within reach. The direct dialogue is key to resolving issues and reaching a lasting peace. We will continue supporting the parties in this endeavor, including by engaging with them directly,” he said.

Miller said the US believes that direct talks are important in achieving lasting resolution, which is within reach.

“We support those talks whether they take place in Washington, Brussels or anywhere is the world,” he added.
