Peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan continues to be a priority for the United States, Principal Deputy Spokesperson for the U.S. Department of State Vedant Patel said on Tuesday, November 87.

“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,” Patel told a briefing.

Senior U.S. officials said back in September both Azerbaijan and Armenia had agreed to send their officials to Washington for another round of meeting.
