YEREVAN, MARCH 28, ARMENPRESS. Washington does not agree with the Azerbaijani claims that the trilateral meeting between Armenia, EU and US to be held in Brussels on April 5 could lead to escalation in the South Caucasus, State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said in a briefing.

He disagreed with the reaction of the Azerbaijani side which described the Armenia-EU-US meeting as “dividing” and said the US and EU might share responsibility for potential escalation following the meeting.

“So, I obviously would not agree with those comments. The focus of this meeting is on economic resilience to help Armenia diversify its trade partnerships and address humanitarian needs. I fail to see why that would be escalatory or would be of a concern to any country in the world,” Miller said.
