Azerbaijan, Armenia should resolve Karabakh conflict peacefully –
U.S. ambassador
BAKU March 6
Azerbaijan and Armenia should follow a peaceful way and should not
resort to hostilities in resolving the conflict over
Nagorno-Karabakh, U.S. Ambassador to Azerbaijan Anne Derse said.
The U.S. deplores the recent armed clashes, in which several
servicemen were killed and wounded, and is calling on the Azeri and
Armenian governments to resume a ceasefire and revert to peace talks,
she said.
Commenting on Armenian armed forces’ recent stepping up of activities
at the contact line with the Azeri forces in Nagorno-Karabakh, Derse
insisted that a military way was not an option to resolve the
conflict and could threaten stability in the region.
Derse also underscored the importance of the OSCE Minsk Group’s
mediating role in resolving the conflict.
