During a video conference held by the Atlantic Council, on Friday, Armenian Foreign Minister Zohrab Mnatsakanyan stated that there is a remarkable unity among Russia, US and France on conflict regulation in Nagorno-Karabakh.
"What is very, very important is that US efforts are very much in consolidation of the joint combined work of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs: France, Russia and the United States,” Mnatsakanyan stated. “This is one of the formats in which these three countries have been considerably united in their effort and considerably coordinated and consolidated."
"This is exactly the format in which despite the various disagreeing points of views amongst the co-chairs and many other issues on the international agenda, there has been a remarkable unity amongst the co-chairs," he added.
The Nagorno-Karabakh region witnessed violent night’s clashes ,on Friday evening, on the battlefronts between the two parties. Videos of a potential war crime have emerged as fighting rages around the disputed territory of Nagorno-Karabakh between Azerbaijan and ethnic Armenians.
One video posted on a messaging app displayed two Armenians in military uniforms being captured by troops from Azerbaijan, while second video clearly shows them being shot with their hands behind their backs.
Armenian authorities have identified the men as Benik Hakobyan, 73, and 25-year-old Yuri Adamyan. On the other hand, Azerbaijan has dismissed the videos as fake.
Following a meeting ,on Friday, with his counterparts, Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov and Armenian Foreign Minister Zohrab Mnatsakanyan, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo tried to bring an end to the conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh.
Pompeo had "emphasized the need to end the violence and protect civilians," according to the US State Department.
On his part, the US President Donald Trump announced about good progress in negotiation over Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
''We are talking about that, we are working with Armenia. We have very good relationship with Armenia,” Trump said. “There are very good people there, very dedicated, they are incredible people and we'll see what happens.''
