Warlick: Our main priority is to find a lasting solution to the Karabakh conflict (video)
Our primary task is to find a final resolution to the Karabakh conflict, US Co-Chair of the OSCE Minsk Group James Warlick said in an interview with the Voice of America. “We are concerned about the reported cases of ceasefire violation. The clashes reported in January 2015 were unprecedented since the signing of the ceasefire, but the most concerning are the losses suffered by civilian population. The Minsk Group Co-Chairs condemn the use of heavy artillery,” he said. Ambassador Warlick spoke about the so-called Royce-Sherman letter, which is put into circulation in the US Congress. The letter signed by a number of congressmen calls on President Obama to pressure Azerbaijan to accept life-saving peace initiatives for Nagorno-Karabakh. Warlick said the Minsk Group Co-Chairs support these processes aimed at the maintenance of peace. “Though we have not seen the final letter yet, we support the proposals made by Edward Randall "Ed" Royce. Our objective is to work with the conflicting parties to reach agreement, and that they demand the maintenance of the ceasefire,” Ambasador James Warlick said. The Minsk Group Co-Chair added that their main priority is to find a lasting solution to the Karabakh conflict.
