Today Secretary Kerry met with President of Armenia Serzh Sargsian and
President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev at the NATO Summit in Newport,
Wales to discuss efforts to resolve the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh.
He expressed his strong concern for the recent violence along the Line
of Contact, marking the deadliest period in the conflict since the
1994 ceasefire took effect. The United States believes that the
cessation of hostilities and the normalization of relations between
Armenia and Azerbaijan will bring peace and prosperity to the peoples
of both countries, and will contribute to stability in the South
Caucasus. With these goals in mind, Secretary Kerry urged the
Presidents to strictly respect the ceasefire and take additional steps
to prepare their publics for peace.
Secretary Kerry encouraged the Presidents to work with the OSCE Minsk
Group Co-Chairs, who are committed to helping the sides reach a
peaceful and lasting settlement. He also applauded the Presidents for
agreeing to continue their dialogue on key elements of a settlement.
He called on the sides to enter into a more formal negotiation process
under the auspices of the Minsk Group Co-Chairs as proposed by the
Swiss Chairman-in-Office at the OSCE. A sustained process is necessary
to increase trust between the sides and build momentum towards a
lasting peace that the people of the region deserve.
