The United States condemned on Saturday a dramatic upsurge in ceasefire violations in Nagorno-Karabakh, saying that the warring sides should immediately restore the truce.
“The United States condemns in the strongest terms the large-scale ceasefire violations along the Nagorno-Karabakh Line of Contact, which have resulted in a number of reported casualties, including civilians … We urge the sides to show restraint, avoid further escalation, and strictly adhere to the ceasefire,” U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said in a statement.
“We reiterate that there is no military solution to the conflict,” added Kerry.
