Washington welcomes continued adherence to the ceasefire. We’re continuing to urge the parties to engage in the peace process, US State Secretary’s Spokesperson Ned Price stated.
He said that Ambassador Reeker, US senior advisor has been in the region. Reeker is now in Vienna meeting with likeminded partners in the OSCE.
“We urge that a cessation of hostilities be maintained, and we urge the disengagement of military forces and work to resolve all outstanding issues between Armenia and Azerbaijan through peaceful negotiations. Use of force is never an acceptable path, and we are glad that the continued engagement at high levels in Armenia and Azerbaijan has helped the sides reach a ceasefire. We continue to engage and encourage the work needed to reach a lasting peace. Again, there can be no military solution to this,” Price stated.
