"Armenia and Azerbaijan would both benefit from moving forward in the
Minsk Group process," Philip H. Gordon, U.S. Assistant Secretary,
Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs stated at a briefing, U.S.
State Department reports.
"I think we've seen in some of the violence that has appeared in
the region lately that we can't take stability for granted. And the
Secretary will have a chance in both countries to underscore what
the presidents said in Toronto the other day," he said.
On June 26, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, U.S. President Barack
Obama, and French President Nicolas Sarkozy issued a statement on
Nagorno-Karabakh. "We reaffirm our commitment to support the leaders
of Armenia and Azerbaijan as they finalize the Basic Principles
for the peaceful settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict," the
statement reads.
On June 18, an Azeri reconnaissance detachment intruded into
Nagorno-Karabakh, killing 4 Armenian soldiers and wounding 4 others.
As a result of an encounter, the Azeris retreated, leaving one
