United Nations spokesman Stephane Dujarric has called for all military activity in the Nagorno-Karabakh region to cease and for a “sustained and deep dialogue” to begin, Al Jazeera reports.
Dujarric told UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres would speak to both Azerbaijan and Armenia’s delegations, which are currently in New York for the 78th session of the UN General Assembly.
“There is no doubt that this will be raised sooner rather than later,” Dujarric said.
Al Jazeera’s correspondent James Bays, reporting from the UN headquarters, said some world leaders were questioning the timing of Azerbaijan’s “anti-terrorist operations” and whether they were meant to coincide with the event in New York.
