The U.S. co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group James Warlick once again urged all sides of the conflict to strictly adhere to the ceasefire in an interview with Armenian newspaper “Aravot”.
"The Minsk Group co-chair countries share the view that the sides need to strictly adhere to the ceasefire, implement the commitments of the Vienna and St. Petersburg meetings to reduce the risk of violence, and make progress in substantive talks," he said.
"We have called on the sides to fulfill their commitments from the meetings in Vienna and St. Petersburg. These commitments include expanding the OSCE Monitoring Mission, finalizing a proposal to establish an investigative mechanism, and continuing substantive talks that can lead to a comprehensive settlement. We were encouraged that the sides resumed substantive talks in St. Petersburg. The next step is to implement the expansion of the Monitoring Mission. In synchronization with these efforts, the Co-Chairs have not stopped working with the sides on the investigative mechanism proposal, nor will we stop," The U.S. co-chair stressed.
