Rubin emphasized that there is no alternative to a peaceful settlement of the Karabakh issue.
"We consider this issue from the perspective of achieving a just, peaceful, long-term, mutually beneficial solution. It is from these positions that all should consider this issue because there is no better solution to the problem, and all other alternatives are so desperate that they should not even be considered, " said Eric Rubin.
At the same time, the senior US diplomat said that although it is not easy, the United States still hopes that the parties will reaffirm their commitment to peace.
"We hope the two sides will reaffirm their commitment to achieving progress in the peace talks. It is not simple; to reach a settlement the parties will make a difficult choice on a number of issues, which is why the decision has not been reached yet, "Eric Rubin said.
According to him, the United States, along with two other co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group from Russia and France, will continue to cooperate fully for the peaceful resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh. Especially important are the efforts of co-chair countries to prevent escalation of the conflict.
"We clearly state that it is imperative that both countries have made everything possible in order not to aggravate the situation; in this tense and dangerous time it is critical to avoid incidents," the US official said.
