Escalation of hostilities in April was a reminder that re-doubled and sustained efforts are needed to break the deadlock in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, said OSCE Chairperson-in-Office and Germany's Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier in a statement posted on the OSCE website May 17th.
"The situation along the line of contact continues to be tense," Steinmeier said. "I deeply regret the reported recent loss of life, and I urge the sides to respect the ceasefire in full."
Steinmeier's remarks come following the recent developments on the line of contact between the Azerbaijani and Armenian troops. An Azerbaijani soldier was killed May 17 as a result of the violation of the ceasefire by Armenia despite the talks on resolving the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Trend reports.
