Trump: Karabakh cease-fire collapse disappointing

U.S. President Donald Trump said the collapse of a recent cease-fire between Azerbaijan and Armenia is "disappointing." 

The president said the two countries will "get back together" as violence escalates between the two neighbors regarding the Nagorno Karabakh area.

"Well, they've been at it for many, many years. Yeah, it's disappointing to see that. That's what happens when you have countries that have been going at it for a long time. It'll get back together," Trump told reporters ahead of a flight to an election rally in the state of Michigan.

His remarks came after a Washington-brokered truce last weekend was short-lived after Azerbaijan said Yerevan breached the cease-fire.

The recent U.S.-brokered temporary humanitarian truce was announced Sunday and took effect 8 a.m. local time (0400GMT) Monday.
