The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, or OSCE, has strongly condemned the violence in the Nagorno-Karabakh region, urging the two sides to respect the ceasefire agreement.
The OSCE Minsk Group countries include Russia, the United States, France, Belarus, Finland, Germany, Italy, Sweden and Turkey. During a special meeting, they stressed there is no military solution to the conflict, and it is important to return to the political process on the basis of a sustainable ceasefire. They also welcomed the plan to undertake direct consultations with sides involved as soon as possible.
German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said the group's immediate efforts must now focus on stabilizing the ceasefire and preventing any new escalation.
