Clinton urges to continue efforts in Karabakh talks
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton stated in Astana that the settlement of the Karabakh conflict should be based on the Helsinki principles as well as on the six provisions worked out by Presidents Medvedev, Sarkozy and Obama in L'Aquila.

The U.S. Secretary of State stressed that the Karabakh conflict should be resolved in a peaceful way and the OSCE must continue efforts for resolution of the conflict.
In his speech, French Prime Minsiter Francois Fillon said France France is determined to assist the sides in the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict on the basis of agreed proposals articulated by presidents Sarkozy, Medvedev and Obama in L'Aquila.
"The OSCE should develop common principles to settle conflicts which should be applied permanently and without selection," Russian President Dmitri Medvedev said adding that the use of force to resolve conflicts is absolutely unacceptable.
