James Appathurai, the NATO's Secretary General's Special Representative for the Caucasus and Central Asia, made a statement on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict's escalation.
"NATO is deeply concerned about reports of large scale military hostilities along the line of contact in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict zone. The sides should immediately cease hostilities, which have already caused civilian casualties. There is no military solution to this conflict. The parties should resume negotiations towards a peaceful resolution. NATO supports the efforts of the OSCE Minsk Group," the statement said.
