US Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced during a trilateral meeting with Armenian and Azerbaijani Foreign Ministers Ararat Mirzoyan and Jeyhun Bayramov that a peace agreement would bring increased stability to the region. This is noted in a US Department of State readout Thursday—and attributable to Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller.

"Secretary Blinken commended both ministers on the progress Armenia and Azerbaijan have made toward a durable and dignified peace and encouraged continued progress by both countries to finalize an agreement as soon as possible. The Secretary underscored that a peace agreement would bring increased stability and prosperity to the region," the statement reads, in particular.

A trilateral meeting between the foreign ministers of Armenia and Azerbaijan and the US Secretary of State was held in New York during the UN General Assembly High-Level Week.
