ArmInfo.The ultimate goal of the US in the South Caucasus is a peaceful solution of relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan. Principal Deputy Spokesperson for the  U.S. Department of State Vedant Patel stated this.

Thus, during a briefing on October 19 to clarify whether there are  any any comments on the state of peace talks between Armenia and  Azerbaijan following the deployment of EU monitoring mission this  week, and whether it will help to move the needle at this point to  bring longtime peace to the region, Patel, in particular, said:  "This is our hope.  And that is something that the  Secretary   (Antony Blinken - ed. note) and Ambassador (U.S.  Special  Representative for the South Caucasus Philip - ed. note) Reeker nd  others from in this building continue to push for as they discuss  this issue. I don't want to get ahead of that process, but of course  our ultimate goal here is a peaceful solution and resolution between  Armenia and Azerbaijan." It should be reminded that last week an EU  civilian mission arrived in Yerevan, whose task will be to monitor  and collect information on the front line. 40 European specialists  will monitor the observance of the ceasefire regime and assist in the  delimitation of the Armenian-Azerbaijani border.
