🇺🇸 The U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken was likely to get involved in the next 24 hours in the diplomatic engagement already under way on the tensions between Armenia and Azerbaijan, a senior U.S. State Department official told Reuters.

🇺🇸 The United States is deeply concerned by Azerbaijan’s military actions in Nagorno-Karabakh and calls on Azerbaijan to cease these actions immediately. These actions are worsening an already dire humanitarian situation in Nagorno-Karabakh and undermine prospects for peace. As we have previously made clear to Azerbaijan, the use of force to resolve disputes is unacceptable and runs counter to efforts to create conditions for a just and dignified peace in the region. We call for an immediate end to hostilities and for respectful dialogue between Baku and representatives of the population of Nagorno-Karabakh.

🇪🇺 Marija Pejčinović Burić, Secretary General of the Council of Europe, expressed grave concern about reports of a military escalation around the Karabakh region during today's meeting with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan, in the margins of the UNGA General Debate.

📌 "I deplored that innocent, vulnerable civilians, who have already been suffering an acute humanitarian crisis in the region, once again bear the brunt of the use of force. This cannot be tolerated. I called on Azerbaijan to immediately halt the military actions. It is high time to leave weapons, de-escalate and embrace dialogue.

📌 Only a meaningful, unconditional dialogue, involving all sides, can lead to a long-lasting peace, which has no alternative. The Council of Europe remains ready to engage and assist in this process, with a view to ensuring the full enjoyment of human rights by all, including rights of national minorities," Marija Pejčinović Burić notes in a statement.
