U.S. Government: We Call on Azerbaijan and Armenia to Constructive Steps
The Karabakh conflict sides should continue constructive steps to achieve long-term peace. This was stated by the State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki, commenting on the results of the Aliyev - Sargsyan meeting in Paris during the briefing in Washington D.C.
“Well, we continue to encourage the sides to take constructive steps to resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. The sides can build on the momentum generated during the President’s three meetings this year by adopting measures that builds trust and confidence, and certainly that can be done through dialogue.
Secretary Kerry also had meetings, as you may know, in Wales. And they can also enter into a genuine negotiation process to advance a peaceful and lasting settlement to the conflict. So certainly, we would encourage that through dialogue,” Psaki stated. ---16D04-
