We have been monitoring with great concern the escalating tension in the Nagorno-Karabakh region, which has resulted in civilian casualties.
We call on all sides to exercise restraint, cease hostilities immediately and return to the negotiation table in the context of the Minsk Group.
The peaceful resolution of disputes within the context of international law is the only path to regional security and stability. We expect every action and every statement by the sides involved and by third parties to adhere to this rationale, so as not to exacerbate tensions.
