Only path to lasting, durable peace between Azerbaijan, Armenia is through dialogue - Blinken

BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 4. The only path to a lasting, durable peace between Azerbaijan and Armenia is through dialogue, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said, following the meeting with Minister of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan Jeyhun Bayramov and his Armenian counterpart Ararat Mirzoyan, Trend reports.

"I think the pace of the negotiations and the foundation that our colleagues have built shows that we really are within reach of an agreement. The last mile of any marathon is always the hardest; we know that. But the US is here to continue to help both of our friends cross the finish line. And as I say, I think we’re very much within reach of that," he said.

On May 1, the US hosted a trilateral meeting between Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov, Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan and US Secretary of State Antony Blinken. After that, a bilateral meeting of the foreign ministers of the two countries was held at the George Shultz National Foreign Affairs Training Center in Arlington, Virginia. Negotiations continued on May 2 and 3 in a bilateral format. The final round of negotiations took place on 4 May.
