Amy Carlson, the U.S. Chargé d’Affaires in Azerbaijan, stated that the peace agreement initiative promoted at the White House on August 8 marks a bold new chapter for the South Caucasus, according to Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty.
The American diplomat emphasized that the United States remains committed to securing lasting peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
“By strengthening this path to peace, we are unlocking the tremendous potential of the South Caucasus as a center of trade, transit, and energy,” Carlson said. “This forms the foundation for our future economic cooperation.”
