US State Department on Artsakh-Azerbaijan Border Escalations

10:50     7 July, 2017

The US State Department Spokesperson Heather Nauert during a daily press briefing on June 6, 2017, referred to the recent escalations on the Artsakh-Azerbaijan borders.
She particularly noted:

"The United States remains deeply concerned over Tuesday’s violations of the ceasefire in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict that resulted in multiple civilian casualties, including possibly a two-year-old child. This happened near the line of contact. We wish to extend our heartfelt condolences to the families of those victims. Along with the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs, we call upon the sides to cease military action and return to the negotiating table. Our policy remains clear in that region: The only solution to this conflict is a negotiated settlement based on international law that includes adherence to the principles of non-use of force, territorial integrity, and self-determination."
