There is real risk of conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia, and the US trying to prevent it. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated this at the House of Representatives, answering the question of Congressman Chris Smith.

In particular, Smith stressed that Azerbaijan has committed genocide against Armenians. Also, he noted that there are many political prisoners in Azerbaijan and called on the US Secretary of State to do everything to have them released. The main objective of the US is to establish peace between Azerbaijan and Armenia.

There is a real risk of conflict that the US is trying to prevent. Its teams are actively working in that regard, and the US is trying to do something and prevent armed intervention, said Marco Rubio. As for the issue of prisoners and human rights, according to the US Secretary of State, this matter is of great importance, for the solution of which the United States wants to use its embassy.
