OSCE ready to support Armenia-Azerbaijan peace process - Fearon

ArmInfo. The OSCE is ready  to support the ongoing peace process between Armenia and Azerbaijan.  As reported by APA, this was stated by OSCE Acting Secretary General  Kate Fearon at the 31st meeting of the of the organization's Council  of Foreign Ministers She added that the organization she represents  is closely monitoring all processes in this direction. <We are  closely monitoring the peace process between Armenia and Azerbaijan.  I would like to state that, at the request of the parties, we are  also ready to provide our support to this issue.> APA also reports,  citing diplomatic sources, that US Secretary of State Antony Blinken  initiated a meeting between the foreign ministers of Azerbaijan and  Armenia within the framework of the OSCE Foreign Ministers' Council  meeting. Blinken insisted on mediating for this meeting to take  place.

It is known, the United States is not currently involved in the peace  process between Azerbaijan and Armenia. With this initiative, Blinken  sought to reintroduce the United States into the peace process.   However, the Azerbaijani side categorically refused Blinken's offer  to hold a meeting.  The reason for this is that " the Biden  administration, in general, pursues an unfair, biased policy towards  Azerbaijan." "For this reason, Azerbaijan does not want the United  States to participate in the peace agenda at all, does not consider  it appropriate," a diplomatic source stated. This meeting did not  take place precisely because Azerbaijan refused the US mediation.
