(MENAFN- AzerNews) By Fatima Hasanova
The USA is advocating a speedy delimitation of the border
between Azerbaijan and Armenia, Azernews reports.
“The peace agreement between Azerbaijan and Armenia should be
reached as soon as possible,” Michael Carpenter, US ambassador to
the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE),
told a special briefing.
The ambassador said that the USA is extremely interested in
securing a peace agreement between the sides and will continue to
look for ways to bring the ministers and the leaders of Azerbaijan
and Armenia together.
“It is no secret that we are working very closely with our EU
partners on this and looking at also deploying the toolkit of the
OSCE, which did deploy a needs assessment team to the Armenian side
of the Armenian-Azerbaijani border at Armenia's request, but also
supporting very much the EU efforts on the border,” he said.
As Carpenter noted, along with the peace agreement, the US is
hoping to see the border delimited as soon as possible so that
peace and stability come back to the region, the human rights and
the security of all individuals living in this region are
respected, and we can turn a new page in the history of the South
Caucasus.
“Obviously, it's going to take some time to get to that end
state, but we're committed to doing everything we can to support
that outcome,” he added.
