    The U.S. remains firmly committed to working with the sides of
    the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict as a co-chair of the Minsk Group,
    Spokesperson for the Department of State, Victoria Nuland said at a
    daily press briefing on Thursday.

    "Let me simply say that the tragic loss of life in the war between
    Armenia and Azerbaijan reminds us that there cannot be a military
    solution to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict," Nuland said.

    She stressed that only a lasting and peaceful settlement can bring
    about stability, prosperity, and reconciliation in the region.

    The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
    when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
    armed forces have occupied 20 per cent of Azerbaijan since 1992,
    including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts.

    Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994.

    The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia, France and the U.S. -
    are currently holding peace negotiations.

    Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four
    resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the
    surrounding regions.
