The US State Department responded to the “Voice of America” inquiry about US-France cooperation in the South Caucasus.
“The United States and our EU partners are committed to promoting a peaceful and prosperous future for the South Caucasus region.” We are committed to supporting Armenia-Azerbaijan peace negotiations. Direct dialogue is critical to solving problems and achieving lasting peace. We continue to be engaged bilaterally, with partners and through multilateral organizations to facilitate dialogue between Armenia and Azerbaijan,” the US State Department said.
It’s noteworthy that US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken was in Paris the other day, meeting with French Foreign Minister Stephane Sejourne on April 2. At the joint press conference following the meeting, the French Foreign Minister informed that he and Blinken also discussed the territorial integrity of Armenia, which, according to the French Foreign Minister, “is disputed by Azerbaijan today.”
