We call on the parties to take urgent and precise steps to reduce tensions and avoid further escalation. This was stated by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
“The United States is deeply concerned by reports of intense clashes between Armenia and Azerbaijan. We also call on the parties to constructively resolve all unresolved issues, including those related to border demarcation.
As noted in the statement issued on 15 November by the co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group, the recent increase in tensions between Armenia and Azerbaijan underscores the need for a negotiated, comprehensive and sustainable settlement of the unresolved issues related to or deriving from the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict,” the US Secretary of State’s statement said.
