    STATE DEPT. REGULAR BRIEFING ON FEB 27, 2014

    Federal News Service
    February 27, 2014 Thursday

    State Department Regular Briefing Briefer: Jennifer Psaki,
    Spokesperson, Department of State Location:

    State Department Briefing Room, State Department, Washington, D.C.

    Time: 2:44 p.m. EST Date: Thursday, February 27, 2014

    [parts omitted]

    Q: On Azerbaijan. Speaking of territorial integrity, 23 years ago
    Armenian troops violated the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan. They
    committed a massacre in the Azerbaijani town of Khojaly. Six hundred
    thirteen people died, all of them civilians. Do you have a statement
    on that?

    MS. PSAKI: I do. The tragic loss of life in the war between Azerbaijan
    and Armenia reminds us that there cannot be a military solution to the
    Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. Only a lasting and peaceful settlement can
    bring stability and prosperity and reconciliation to the region. As a
    co-chair of the Minsk Group, the United States remains firmly committed
    to working with the sides, both side, to achieve peace.

    Q: Jen, but it's a general statement. Do you have anything on the
    specific event? Because there are two parties. One party is a guilty
    party; the other one is the civilian party. One exterminated the other.

    MS. PSAKI: I don't have any further statement than what I've just
    provided.

    Q: Thank you.
