This is the best summary I could come up with:

Meanwhile, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said he intended to intensify political and diplomatic efforts to sign a peace treaty with Azerbaijan, Russia’s TASS news agency reported on Thursday.

The two Caucasian countries have been in conflict for decades, most notably over the region of Nagorno-Karabakh, internationally recognised as part of Azerbaijan but largely populated and controlled by ethnic Armenians with Yerevan’s support until Baku recaptured it in September.

Azerbaijan objected in particular to “one-sided and biased” comments on Wednesday by U.S. Assistant Secretary of State James O’Brien to the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

It complained that O’Brien did not mention that “for more than two months Armenia has not been responding” to Azerbaijani peace proposals.

He said the U.S. had cancelled high-level bilateral meetings and engagements with Azerbaijan and would keep urging it to “facilitate the return of Nagorno-Karabakh Armenians who may wish to go back to their homes or visit cultural sites in the region, as well as restore unimpeded commercial, humanitarian, and pedestrian traffic to the region”.

Azerbaijani Prime Minister Ali Asadov told a forum in Tbilisi last month that Baku had been committed to peace and the restoration of transport links with Armenia since 2020, but that progress hinged on Yerevan.
