U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden urged U.S. President Donald Trump to directly engage President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan to de-escalate the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
The politician noted that it is long past time for U.S. President Donald Trump to push for immediate de-escalation in Nagorno-Karabakh.
"The United States should be leading a diplomatic effort to end the fighting, together with our European partners, and push for international humanitarian assistance to end the suffering," he stressed.
Biden promised that under his administration that is exactly what they will do.
The Armenian armed forces committed a large-scale provocation, subjecting the positions of the Azerbaijani army to intensive shelling from large-caliber weapons, mortars, and artillery installations of various calibers in the front-line zone on Sept. 27 at 05:00 (Msk). The command of the Azerbaijani Army decided to launch a counter-offensive operation of Azerbaijani troops along the entire front to suppress the combat activity of the Armenian armed forces and ensure the safety of the civilian population. To date, Fizuli and Jabrayil districts, including the cities of Jabrayil and Fizuli, the city of Zangilan and part of Zangilan district, part of the Gubaldi region, the city of Gubadli, the city of Hadrut and a number of villages in the Khojavend region, the villages of Sugovushan and Talish in the Terter region, as well as the strategically important Murovdag mountain were liberated.
