Baku. Victoria Dementyeva-APA. France, which co-chairs the Minsk
Group, expresses its deep concern following the violent incidents on
the border between Armenia and Azerbaijan which have resulted in 8
deaths over the past few days, APA reports.

There can be no military solution to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

The parties must be fully committed to implementing a peaceful
settlement based on the respect of the principles of the UN Charter
and the Helsinki Final Act, notably the non-use of force, territorial
integrity and the right of peoples to self-determination.

Another meeting between the foreign ministers of Armenia and Azerbaijan
and the Minsk Group’s co-chairs is scheduled to take place in June
in Paris in order to continue the negotiations. We are preparing for
this meeting.
