YEREVAN, MAY 16, ARTSAKHPRESS. The United States believes that the talks between Armenia and Azerbaijan are an important step forward, State Department Principal Deputy Spokesperson Vedant Patel said at a press briefing on May 15 when asked on the Brussels-hosted summit.
“Obviously, the U.S. was not a party to these talks. But as a follow-on to the talks that we hosted in Arlington, we continue to believe that these are important steps forward as we continue to find that a durable peace is possible between these two countries,” Patel said.
Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev held trilateral talks together with the President of the European Council Charles Michel on May 14 in Brussels.
In early May, Armenia and Azerbaijan also held U.S.-mediated foreign ministerial talks in Arlington.
