State Department disagrees with Azerbaijan comments on upcoming US-EU-Armenia meeting

Washington does not agree with Azerbaijan's statements that the meeting between Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, and US Secretary of State Antony Blinken in Brussels on April 5 would be escalatory. Matthew Miller, Spokesperson of the US Department of State, noted this at Wednesday’s Department press briefing.

"I obviously would not agree with those comments. The focus of this meeting is on economic resilience to help Armenia diversify its trade partnerships and address humanitarian needs. I fail to see why that would be escalatory, or would be of a concern to any country in the world.," said Miller.

The spokesperson of the US State Department, however, did not comment on the question of what went into the decision to establish the trilateral format, and “how much of Armenia’s decision to stay away from Russia and pursue the EU pathway triggered this meeting.”
