According to the website of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, U.S. President Joe Biden sent a letter to Aliyev calling on him to finalize a peace deal with Armenia by the end of 2024.

“As the world's attention turns to Baku for COP29, you have a unique opportunity to demonstrate your commitment to peace in front of a global audience. As you know, finalizing the remaining articles of the peace agreement will require creativity and compromise on all sides,” the letter reads according to Aliev’s website.

The letter, the website claims, was handed to Aliyev today in Baku by visiting Special Assistant to the U.S. President and Senior Director for Europe at the National Security Council. Michael Carpenter.
