Biden says Armenia-Azerbaijan peace agreement will transform South Caucasus

A peace agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan would transform the South Caucasus and fundamentally change Azerbaijan’s role in the region, US President Joe Biden said in a message addressed to the participants of the Baku Energy Week.

The message notes that regional stability and interconnectivity are priorities for the United States.

“A durable and dignified peace agreement that ends decades of conflict would transform the South Caucasus and fundamentally change Azerbaijan’s role in the region. The United States stands ready to support this noble ambition. We owe it to future generations to ensure peace and prosperity remain our guiding principles,” the message reads.
