Representative of the UN Secretary General Stephane Dujarric has called to end the hostilities in the Nagorno-Karabakh region and start a “sustainable and deep dialogue.”

Dujarric told Al Jazeera that UN Secretary-General António  Guterres will meet with the delegations of Armenia and Azerbaijan, who are currently in New York for the 78th session of the UN General Assembly.

According to Dujarric, there is no doubt that sooner or later this issue will be raised.
