The United States and Iran are set to resume high-stakes talks on Saturday 19 April on Tehran’s nuclear programme, a week after an initial round of discussions that both sides described as “constructive”. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and US Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff will hold the Oman-mediated talks in Rome. They come one week after the two sides held what Iran called indirect talks in Muscat. Those were the first talks at such a high level between the foes since US President Donald Trump abandoned a landmark nuclear accord in 2018.
Speaking with Alpha News, ANCA Western Region Board Member Astine Suleimanyan commented on the Armenian prisoners held in Baku and other critical issues related to Armenia and the Armenian people.
“Two weeks ago, we decided that we would go to Washington as a group. We lobby like this every year. We are speaking with members of Congress and senators. This year is particularly significant, as it marks the 110th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide,” she said.
She noted that it is necessary to put pressure on official Baku to release the Armenian prisoners.
“There are 23 prisoners in Baku. Marco Rubio and Kennedy have promised us that they will fight with us and try to put pressure on Azerbaijan to release the Armenian prisoners. But there is no action yet, there are only talks. We are losing time every day. Azerbaijan says there should be peace, but there is no such peace,” Astine Suleimanyan noted.
