State Department called on parties to Karabakh conflict to try to refrain from violence and to work through issues through peaceful means, Deputy Spokesperson Marie Harf said during the Wednesday briefing.

Asked about the recent act of sabotage by Azerbaijan, Harf said she is not aware of the specific incident and will be happy “to check with our folks and get you a comment”.

In a response to a remark about State Department’s general statements calling to refrain from violence instead of criticizing the act of violation and the party which violated the ceasefire, Marie Harf said: “Well, duly noted. We make statements in situations like this. Obviously, every situation is different. But we do call on parties to try to refrain from violence and to work through issues through peaceful means. Again, I’m happy to check on the specifics on this. I just am not aware of the facts. But thank you for the question”.
