YEREVAN, MARCH 23, ARMENPRESS: The statements of Azerbaijan about bombing the airplanes that will arrive in Stepanakert are absolutely unacceptable, US Ambassador to Armenia Marie Yovanovitch said today at a news conference today, adding that such statements do not correspond to the negotiation principle Azerbaijan must follow. “The most important for us in the settlement of the issue is the principle of non-usage of force,” Yovanovitch said.
She noted that currently it is important to use the positive directions formed in Sochi. “It is very important. It is necessary to register progress in the process of negotiation which will help to prevent incidents in the line of contact,” the ambassador said.
The latter pointed out that the US is closely cooperating with the other co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group – Russia and France. “The only way to settle the issue is the political one – the negotiation process. There is no military solution and we will be successive in the policy we have adopted,” Yovanovitch said.
