US ‘deeply concerned’ about escalation of violence along lines of contact between Azerbaijan and Armenia
Spokesperson for the United States Department of State Jen Psaki has said “we express our deep concern about the escalation of violence along the lines of contact (between Azerbaijan and Armenia) that has resulted in significant casualties since July 31st.
“And we certainly extend our condolences to the families of those killed or injured and call on the sides to take immediate action to reduce tensions and respect the cease-fire,” she said.
“There can be no military solution to this conflict. Retaliation and further violence will only make it more difficult to bring about a peaceful settlement. We remain committed, as a co-chair of the Minsk Group, to helping all sides reach a lasting settlement to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict,” Psaki said
