UN Secretary General’s call
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon has commented on a number of urgent issues and has touched upon the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, underlining the significance of the Minsk Group's mission ahead of the OSCE summit to be held in Astana.
"I express hope that the sides will continue to discuss all issues during the negotiations. As far as I understand, there has been a certain sweep in the latest discussions. I hope Azerbaijan and Armenia will reach an agreement on the basic principles for the peaceful resolution of this conflict as soon as possible," Ban Ki-Moon told Radio "Azatutyun" and called on the sides to be restrained.
"I also call on Armenia and Azerbaijan to refrain from provocations on the line of contact and remove the marksmen located on the line of contact. That will be useful not only for the conflicting sides, but all groups that are making efforts to speed up the peaceful negotiations," said Ban Ki-Moon.
