U.S. wants to see Armenia-Azerbaijan border delimited ASAPNovember 30, 2022 - 16:18 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The United States would like to see the border between Armenia and Azerbaijan delimited as soon as possible, Permanent Representative of the United States of America to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) Michael Carpenter told a briefing on Tuesday, August 29. Carpenter said the United States is “very keenly involved” in the process of diplomacy between Armenia and Azerbaijan in pursuing an agreement that would bring peace to the region and normalize relations. “I should say very deeply involved in this process, very keenly interested in securing a peace agreement, and we will continue to look for ways to bring the ministers and the leaders together. It’s no secret that we’re working very closely with our EU partners on this and looking at also deploying the toolkit of the OSCE, which did deploy a needs assessment team to the Armenian side of the Armenian-Azerbaijani border at Armenia’s request, but also supporting very much the EU efforts on the border,” the ambassador said. “Our objective is simple: We would like to see the border delimited as soon as possible; we would like to see a peace agreement agreed between the two sides as soon as possible so that peace and stability comes back to the region, the human rights and the security of all individuals living in this region are respected, and we can turn a new page in the history of the South Caucasus. Obviously it’s going to take some time to get to that end state, but we’re committed to doing everything we can to support that outcome.” Top stories Six total incidents have burned 19 old-growth trees.
