At a press briefing, Spokesperson for the U.S. Department of State Matthew Miller refused to comment on Antony Blinken’s call to Ilham Aliyev, saying: “I’m not going to get into the private diplomatic conversations, but as we said in the readout that we put out, we continue to support engagement between Azerbaijan and Armenia and continue to work to try to resolve that dispute.”
To remind, a few days ago, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken had a telephone conversation with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev. Blinken took notice of the progress achieved by Armenia and Azerbaijan toward the peace treaty and highlighted the need for the immediate conclusion of the agreement. The official highlighted the importance of bilateral relations between the U.S. and Azerbaijan.
