On October 4, upon the initiative of the American side, a phone conversation was held between the Foreign Minister of Armenia, the U.S. State Secretary and the Foreign Minister of Azerbaijan.

The sides exchanged opinions on the meeting held on October 2 in Geneva.

The Armenian side reiterated the need for the withdrawal of the Azerbaijani armed forces from the sovereign territory of the Republic of Armenia, the immediate repatriation of the Armenian prisoners of war illegally held in Azerbaijan and for the unconditional observance of the ceasefire regime. The inadmissibility of resolving the issues with the use of force or the threat of use of force was stressed.
