Matthew Miller: The sooner Armenia and Azerbaijan will sign a peace treaty that recognizes sovereignty and territorial integrity, the better

The United States welcomes the work towards peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan, US State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller said in a press briefing on Thursday.

“We support the sovereignty and territorial integrity of both countries. We hope they will sign a durable peace treaty that recognizes such sovereignty and territorial integrity, the sooner the better. The parties have made significant progress over the past year, and we encourage them to maintain momentum building on past negotiations and conclude an agreement,” Miller said.
