BAKU: The US has never tied the possible peace agreement between Azerbaijan and Armenia to COP29, the US State Department Spokesman Matthew Miller said during a briefing, Trend reports. 'We never tied the agreement to COP. We wanted to see a peace agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan months ago, and have been pushing for a peace agreement, and ultimately hope to get one over the line. But that's up to the two parties, not the United States,' he explained. Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken held a trilateral meeting with Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan and Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov in New York during the UN General Assembly High-Level Week in late September. Secretary Blinken commended both ministers on the progress Armenia and Azerbaijan have made toward a durable and dignified peace and encouraged continued progress by both countries to finalize an agreement as soon as possible. The Secretary underscored that a peace agreement would bring increased stability and prosperi ty to the region, Source: Trend News Agency
