`I strongly condemn the recent violations of the ceasefire agreement along the line of contact in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. I am concerned about the increase in casualties on both sides.
I emphasize that any violation of the ceasefire would destabilize the process of negotiations in the framework of the Minsk Conference, limiting opportunities to enhance constructive dialogue. In this regard, I support today"s statement of the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs calling on the parties to the conflict to exercise restraint, and to strictly observe the ceasefire and refrain from inflammatory public statements.
The intensified efforts of the Co-Chairs of the Minsk Group to foster a spirit of compromise ahead of the Summit in Astana will only be successful if all sides to the conflict demonstrate a genuine interest in achieving progress.`
