OSCE Minsk Group calls on Armenia, Azerbaijan to abstain from using force
DUBLIN April 27
The OSCE Minsk Group cochairmen have urged Armenia and Azerbaijan to
abstain from using force. The appeal was made at a Dublin conference
on Friday.
The cochairmen said they were concerned over the latest series of
ceasefire regime violations along the Armenian-Azerbaijani border and
contact line, which led to injuries and deaths. The senseless acts of
violence violate the sides' obligation to abstain from using force and
to seek peaceful settlement of the Karabakh conflict, they said.
Besides, the events disagree with the spirit of the joint statement of
the Azerbaijani, Armenian and Russian presidents made in January 23,
2012, the cochairmen said.
They strongly condemned any violence and repeated there was no
alternative to the peace process. The cochairman asked the conflicting
sides to respect the ceasefire agreement of 1994 and to abstain from
acts of retaliation, which must further escalate the conflict.
