WASHINGTON, DC. -The United States remains deeply committed to
helping the sides in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict reach a lasting
and peaceful settlement, said Secretary of State Hilary Clinton in
written response to questions submitted by Congressman Howard Berman.
In response to a question regarding Azerbaijan's opposition to an OSCE
Minsk Group proposal, backed by both Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh,
for the withdrawal of snipers from the front lines, Secretary Clinton
said US supports pulling back snipers, Armenian National Committee
of America reported (ANCA).
"We regret any loss of life and continue to call upon the sides to
take steps - including the withdrawal of snipers - to improve the
atmosphere for negotiations, prevent unnecessary casualties, and
strengthen implementation of the ceasefire," she said.
"The U.S. has emphasized that the parties should show restraint in both
their public statements and on the ground to avoid misunderstandings
and unintended consequences. We reiterate at every opportunity that
there is no military solution to the conflict and that only a peaceful
settlement will lead to security, stability, and reconciliation in
the region."
