    U.S. CALLS FOR DIPLOMATIC SOLUTION TO AZERBAIJAN-ARMENIA DISPUTE

    The United States urged Wednesday Azerbaijan and Armenia to avoid
    further violations of the cease-fire along the dividing line in
    Nagorny-Karabakh and called for a diplomatic solution to the issue.

    "We regret that there was a violation of the cease-fire along the
    dividing line in Nagorny-Karabakh," State Department deputy spokesman
    Tom Casey said.

    "We think it's important that there be no further violations," Casey
    said, adding that the two parties need to come up with "a diplomatic
    resolution" of the situation.

    U.S. Envoy Matt Bryza has voiced his concerns to officials in
    Azerbaijan's capital of Baku, and he will also visit Armenia on
    Thursday, Casey said.

    According to media reports, Azerbaijan and Armenia have accused each
    other for triggering a deadly shootout in the disputed region of
    Nagorny-Karabakh that killed up to 16 people, one of the most deadly
    clashes in recent years.
