Our first goal is the final solution of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

The US Co-Chair of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) Minsk Group, Ambassador James Warlick, told the aforesaid to the Voice of America Armenian service.

He noted that the attempts of ceasefire violation is a cause of great concern to them, but the most concerning is the losses suffered by the civilian population, and that the Minsk Group co-chairs condemn the use of heavy artillery.

Also, Ambassador Warlick spoke about the Royce-Sherman letter, which is put into circulation in the US Congress, and which calls on President Obama to pressure Azerbaijan to accept life-saving peace initiatives (known as the Royce-Engel proposals) for Nagorno-Karabakh. He noted that the Minsk Group co-chairs support these processes aimed at the maintenance of peace.

James Warlick stated that their objective is to work with the conflicting parties to reach agreement, and that they demand the maintenance of the ceasefire.

He added that a lasting solution to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is their main priority.
