The United States welcomed the exchange of prisoners between Armenia and Azerbaijan on Wednesday.
“So the under secretary – or the assistant secretary was in the region. This is something that we have encouraged, actively encouraged in talks with both governments. We welcome the return of the Armenian and Azerbaijani detainees earlier today and reports that additional confidence-building measures are being discussed. We will continue to work with Armenia and Azerbaijan to move the process forward. We continue to believe that peace is possible if both parties are willing to pursue it”, Matthew Miller, US State Department Spokesperson said during the press briefing in Washington DC.
