BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 28. The peace agreement between Azerbaijan and Armenia will create unprecedented stability and open new opportunities for the expansion of trade in the region, US Ambassador to Azerbaijan Mark Libby said at the event dedicated to the celebration of US Independence Day, Trend reports.
"Azerbaijan and Armenia have initiated border delimitation and have indicated their closeness to signing a peace agreement," he said.
The ambassador emphasized that these efforts present a historic opportunity in the eyes of the United States.
"The US will continue to urge both sides to seize this opportunity, and we will support the process in every way possible," the ambassador added.
Mark Libby also pointed out that the bilateral cooperation between Azerbaijan and the US holds promising opportunities for further development.
"I look back on my first several months in this job, the United States and our Azerbaijani hosts have begun to articulate other, great aspirations for our partnership. Our partnership already has a remarkable history. Since Azerbaijan’s reemergence as an independent country, the US has provided over $1 billion to foster education and economic development, to support internally displaced victims of conflict, and to rid this country of the deadly landmines. But we also seek a forward-looking partnership. We aspire together for a deeper future partnership that ensures peace, prosperity, and security for Azerbaijan and for the region. And the omens are good," he noted.
