The United States stands for a long-term resolution of the conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia over Mountainous Karabakh, and is also opposed to unilateral steps in this regard. This was stated by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
“I have been in very active and direct contact with the leadership of both Armenia and Azerbaijan. In particular, recently — a week ago — I had telephone conversations with Prime Minister Pashinyan and President Aliyev, as well as with the foreign ministers of these countries, trying to promote the prospects for a long-term political settlement of the Mountainous Karabakh issue,” Blinken said.
According to him, Washington is “developing and promoting various confidence-building measures” in this connection.
“We are opposed to any unilateral actions, especially by Azerbaijan, which only aggravate the situation,” the head of American diplomacy emphasized.
