Washington reiterates Armenia-Azerbaijan peace agreement is ‘within reach’

 10:26, 8 August 2023

YEREVAN, AUGUST 8, ARMENPRESS. The United States has reiterated that a potential peace deal between Armenia and Azerbaijan remains “within reach” after Russia warned last week that a hastily prepared peace treaty could lead to new conflict.

U.S. State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller was asked during a press briefing to comment on the warnings from Moscow to Armenia and Azerbaijan against rushing into a peace agreement.

“I don’t want to speak with respect to Russia when it comes to Armenia and Azerbaijan,” Miller said. “I want to speak with respect to those two countries who are directly related – who are direct parties in this dispute.  We have been engaged directly with those countries; Special Envoy Bono traveled to the region last week and engaged directly with them.  And we believe, despite any comments from other countries who are not a party to this matter, that an agreement remains within reach, and we will continue to work with them to pursue it,” he added.

Miller added that Türkiye has a productive role it can play in this process.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
