The United Nations (UN) has urged to resume talks to resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

Farhan Haq, Deputy Spokesman for the UN Secretary-General, has issued a respective statement.

“We have noted the recent statements by the Co-Chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group and by the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office and express full support for the call to the sides to refrain from any actions that would undermine the ceasefire agreement,” reads the statement. “We welcome all efforts to reduce the level of tensions and call on all sides to demonstrate the necessary political will to resume substantive negotiations leading to a peaceful settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.”
