Press Release: U.S. Department of State
Escalating Violence Along the Line of Contact in the Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict
Press Statement
Marie Harf
Deputy Department Spokesperson, Office of the Spokesperson
Washington, DC
August 1, 2014
The United States expresses its concern about the escalation of
violence along the Line of Contact that resulted in significant
casualties on July 31. We extend our condolences to the families of
those killed or injured and call on the sides to take immediate action
to reduce tensions and respect the cease-fire. There can be no
military solution to the conflict. Retaliation and further violence
will only make it more difficult to bring about a peaceful settlement.
The United States urges the Presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan to
meet at the earliest opportunity to resume dialogue on key issues. We
also call on the parties to accept the proposal from the Organization
for Security and Cooperation in Europe Chairman-in-Office to enter
into negotiations which can lead to the conclusion of a peace
agreement. We remain committed to participating in the Minsk Group
process and stand ready to help efforts to bring about a lasting
settlement.
