US Department of State on Mirzoyan-Bayramov meeting postponement

US Department of State on Mirzoyan-Bayramov meeting postponement

It was 100 percent due to scheduling issues. Spokesperson for the U.S. Department of State Matthew Miller said this, rejecting the journalist’s assumptions that the next round of talks between Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan and Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov, scheduled for June 12 in Washington, was postponed on account of differences over the Armenian-Azerbaijani negotiation process.

“We look forward to hosting another round of talks in Washington as the parties continue to pursue a peaceful dialogue for the South Caucasus region. As we’ve said before, we believe direct dialogue is key to resolving the remaining issues. We believe an agreement is within reach. This meeting unfortunately couldn’t go forward due to scheduling issues, and we look forward to rescheduling it as soon as we can,” he said.
