Patel: Peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan continues to be a priority for the US

Peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan continues to be a
priority for the U.S. Principal Deputy Spokesperson for the U.S. Department of
State Vedant Patel said this at a daily press briefing.

In response to the question if Washington is still an option
for the next round of the negotiations, in view of the fact that in September,
U.S. senior officials stated that both Azerbaijan and Armenia had agreed to
send their officials to Washington for another round of meeting, Patel said:
“Of course. Outside of everything that of course is going on in the world that
often sometimes takes up a lot of the oxygen in this room, peace between those
two countries continues to be a priority for us, for Secretary Blinken, and
it’s something that the department will continue to engage towards.”
