OSCE MG: use of force for Karabakh settlement unacceptable

The peoples in South Caucasus deserve a better, stable and wealthy future, OSCE Minsk Group U.S. Co-chair said.

Addressing a conference on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, Robert Bradtke said the problem is not given proper attention. “The conflict is not frozen. Probably the current status quo is favorable for someone, but this doesn’t guarantee stability,” he said.

“I have paid 16 visit to the region over the past year. The U.S. closely cooperates with France and Russia for soonest resolution of the conflict,” the mediator said, adding that use of force is absolutely unacceptable.
