The United States commends Armenia and Azerbaijan for concluding negotiations on a historic peace treaty. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio noted this in a press statement Friday.

“This is an opportunity for both countries to turn the page on a decades old conflict in line with President Trump’s vision for a more peaceful world.  Now is the time to commit to peace, sign and ratify the treaty, and usher in a new era of prosperity for the people of the South Caucasus,” added the US Secretary of State.
