Matthew Miller, US State Department Spokesperson, referred to the question on how close is the agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan, takin into account that Russia warned that they should expect further conflict if they rush into a peace agreement.
“I don’t want to speak with respect to Russia when it comes to Armenia and Azerbaijan. I want to speak with respect to those two countries who are directly related – who are direct parties in this dispute. We have been engaged directly with those countries; Special Envoy Bono traveled to the region last week and engaged directly with them. And we believe, despite any comments from other countries who are not a party to this matter, that an agreement remains within reach, and we will continue to work with them to pursue it”, Miller said.
