(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 6. In order for a peace
agreement between Azerbaijan and Armenia to be sustainable, to be
durable, it needs to come from the parties, Louis Bono, US Senior
Advisor for Caucasus Negotiations, said, answering trend 's question during
a briefing.
'The US not playing a role of a mediator in the peace process.
It is more about a facilitator. What's most important is any
agreement reached, language that's put forward but the parties.
Because in order for a peace agreement to be sustainable, to be
durable, it needs to come from the parties, not from the US, or
anyone else. Our goal is to get parties talking so that they are
putting forward the language, they are exchanging proposal,' he
said.
Bono recalled that a few weeks ago he accompanied Secretary
Blinken to Munich, where he held a trilateral meeting with
President Ilham Aliyev and Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan.
'The secretary felt that the meeting was very constructive. I
think this was a sentiment shared by all the participants of the
meeting. Following the meeting, I had a conversation with the
Secretary, and he asked me to come out as soon as possible to
advance the peace process. That's why I am here now,' he said.
