YEREVAN, AUGUST 30, ARMENPRESS. The U.S. Co-Chair of the OSCE Minsk Group James Warlick stated that the Minsk Group spares no effort to maintain the ceasefire regime and the recent wave of violence, which began on July 31, was of great concern to the mediators.

As reports “Armenpress”, the U.S Co Chair of the OSCE Minsk Group James Warlick stated this in an interview to the Azerbaijani Turan news agency.

He noted that this kind of violence is a setback at the ability to reach a peaceful settlement. “We need to work and re-double our efforts at the negotiating table to find solution. A starting point for that is respecting the ceasefire,” he noted. Warlick also noted that the Karabakh conflict has no military solution.

Warlick did not exclude the possibility that the Armenian and the Azerbaijani Presidents may have a meeting at the course of the NATO summit, which will be held next week in Wales, and also at the UN General Assembly. “Secretary Kerry as well, is prepared to be personally involved, if his involvement is helpful and bringing about the settlement.
