OSCE MG urges Karabakh conflict sides to cease using force immediately.
The representatives of the OSCE Minsk Group countries (Russian Federation, the United States of America, France, Belarus, Finland, Germany, Italy, Sweden, Turkey), as well as the incoming Austrian OSCE Chair (2017) and the Serbian OSCE Chair (2015), on Tuesday issued a statement condemning the outbreak of unprecedented violence along the Line of Contact of Armenian and Azerbaijani troops.
“We extend our condolences to all affected families. We urge the sides to cease using force immediately. There is no military solution to the conflict,” said the statement.
The deterioration of the situation on the ground demonstrates the need for an immediate negotiation, under the auspices of the Co-chairs, on a comprehensive settlement, according to the statement.
The representatives of the Minsk Group member states affirm their support for the Russian, American, and French Co-Chairs’ mediation efforts and welcome their plans to undertake direct consultations with the sides as soon as possible, the statement said.
