US Ambassador to OSCE comments on escalation on Armenian-Azerbaijani  border

ArmInfo.US Ambassador to the OSCE Michael Carpenter reacted to the escalation on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border.  " Hostilities along the  Armenia-Azerbaijan border and reported strikes on civilian objects in  Armenia are unacceptable and must stop immediately. There is no  military solution to the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh; diplomacy must  prevail," the diplomat wrote on his microblog on Twitter.

There are  reports that both sides suffered losses and wounded. According to the  RA Prime Minister, the Armenian side already has 49 dead. Moscow  announced the achievement of a truce between the parties as of 09:00  in the morning. Meanwhile, the Armenian media report on ongoing  hostilities. France announced its intention to appeal to the UN  Security Council because of the situation on the Armenian-Azerbaijani  border. Armenia initiated a special meeting of the OSCE Council.
