U.S. Department: There cannot be a military solution to the Karabakh conflict

 Tragic loss of life in the war between Azerbaijan and Armenia reminds us that there cannot be a military solution to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Patrick Ventrell, Acting Deputy Spokesperson, said in a briefing in Washington.

"Only a lasting and peaceful settlement can bring stability, prosperity, and reconciliation to the region. And you know that the United States is a co-chair of the Minsk Group, and we remain firmly committed to working with both sides to achieve peace," he said.
