Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, Ambassador Philip Ricker, Assistant Secretary of State Karen Donfried and other officials from the State Department held a series of talks with Armenia and Azerbaijan, other stakeholders and partners.

APA reports that Ned Price, the spokesman of the US State Department, said this.

He said that he cannot disclose the details of all these negotiations: "But as I said before, we will continue to work within the diplomatic framework.

We are ready to do everything we can on a bilateral and multilateral basis to end these clashes and reduce tensions."

Ned Price recalled that they declared that it was impossible to resolve the tension by military means: "We have called on both sides to refrain from future military operations, to return to dialogue and diplomacy.

We continue to work in this direction."

Ned Price also reminded that the US State Department's Chief Adviser on Caucasus Negotiations, Ambassador Ricker, held high-level meetings in Baku, and the State Department's Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs, Donfrid, had a telephone conversation with Azerbaijan's Foreign Minister Bayramov: "We want the South Caucasus to be peaceful and We are committed to doing everything we can to promote a prosperous future."
