ArmInfo. There is no military solution to the Karabakh conflict - this evidence was proved by the incident of July 4, which killed civilians. This was stated by former OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chair Vyacheslav Trubnikov to haqqin.az. "Here you can see what the pause in the negotiation process leads to.
To avoid the death of civilians on both sides, it is necessary to continue negotiations, and the OSCE Minsk Group to intensify its work in this direction," Tubnikov said. At the same time, he added that at the next meetings with his Armenian counterparts he would directly tell them that the solution to the conflict should have only one formula: "there were neither winners nor losers here and there can not be any."
"And for our part - Russia, the United States and France, as co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group, should spur the parties to peace talks, which have no alternative," concluded the ex-mediator.
To note, on July 4, the Azerbaijani Armed Forces continuously shelled Karabakh positions from 60 and 82 mm mortars throughout the day, in addition, they used Turkish missile systems TR-107. The Armed Forces of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic took counter-action, as a result of which two Azerbaijani civilians were killed, another one was injured. This is due to the fact that the enemy's firing point was located in the immediate vicinity of the settlement. The OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs issued a statement urging the sides to stop fighting and return to the negotiating table.
