U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken believes that peace is “within reach” between Armenia and Azerbaijan.

St a press briefing on Wednesday, U.S. State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said Blinken urged Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev at the Munich Security Conference to work together to settle “just a remaining few issues.”

“He still does believe that peace is within reach, and he discussed that directly with the leaders of both of those countries, and encouraged them to work together to bridge what ultimately are just a remaining few issues," the spokesman said when asked whether Blinken still believes peace is within reach between Armenia and Azerbaijan.

"And we will continue to encourage those countries to reach a peace agreement. I know that the two leaders met bilaterally in Munich, and so we will continue to offer the assistance and the support of the United States in reaching agreement,” Miller added.
