Following his meetings in Washington with the Foreign Ministers of Armenia and Azerbaijan, Zohrab Mnatsakanyan and Jeyhun Bayramov, US National Security Adviser Robert O’Brian stated that he rules out a military solution to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and called for its settlement within the framework of the OSCE Minsk Group, TASS reported.
"There is no military solution," the US National Security Council said in a statement on Twitter after the meeting with the Azerbaijani FM. O'Brien noted that during the conversation, he “pressed for an immediate ceasefire then a return to Minsk Group-facilitated negotiations” and a “rejection of outside actors further destabilizing the situation.”
He also discussed with the Armenian Foreign Minister the need for an immediate ceasefire and a return to Minsk Group-facilitated negotiations. “The U.S. will continue our strongest diplomatic efforts at all levels until the conflict is resolved," Robert O'Brien said.
