There is no military solution to the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh.

Mark Toner, Deputy Spokesperson of the US Department of State, stated the aforesaid calling on the conflict parties to return to the negotiating table, according to Armenian News-NEWS.am.

“We’ve seen the fragile ceasefire put in place. We were encouraged initially that it appeared to be holding, but obviously tensions remain on the ground,” Toner stated. “The Secretary has reached out to leaders of both countries, Azerbaijan and Armenia. Our chairman of the Minsk Group – co-chair, rather – has visited the region. We have remained in contact with both governments, all sides in this conflict.

“Our message has been consistent, which is that we condemn in the strongest possible terms any violence along the Nagorno-Karabakh line of conflict, and we need to see the peace process back up and running and as soon as possible. There is no military solution to the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh.”
