The tragic death of people in the continued conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan is another remembrance that the Nagorno Karabakh conflict cannot be settled through war.
The statement came from spokesman for the US Department of State Victoria Nuland.
"Only long-term and peaceful solution of the conflict can promote stability, prosperity and accord in the region", she said.
As the co-chairs of the Minsk Group, the United States remain strongly committed to the work with the conflict parties in this direction, she added.
