Thank you, Mr. Chair.
The United States remains committed to promoting a peaceful, democratic, and prosperous future for the South Caucasus region. We welcome the ongoing dialogue between Armenia and Azerbaijan. We urge the parties to continue and intensify their diplomatic engagement and to make use of existing mechanisms for direct communication — including meetings hosted by the European Union — in order to find comprehensive solutions to all outstanding issues related to and resulting from the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, and to normalize their relations through the conclusion of a comprehensive peace agreement. As a Co-Chair of the OSCE Minsk Group, we remain ready to assist Armenia and Azerbaijan with these efforts.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
