“This is a difficult situation“ on the ground ... This is a difficult diplomatic situation.
Our view, like the view of almost all European countries, continues to be that the right way forward is to end the conflict, to declare to them the need to ensure de-escalation, ”Pompeo quoted TASS as saying.
As the diplomat emphasized, no countries "should intervene, adding fuel to the fire of this conflict," and should not provide weapons systems and support.
“And then, at that stage, a diplomatic solution will be acceptable to everyone, and could potentially be achieved,” he stressed.
He added that he will talk about this with the Foreign Ministers of Armenia and Azerbaijan.
Earlier, it was reported in Baku that the Azerbaijani Foreign Minister would meet in Washington on October 23 with Pompeo and the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs.
In addition, it was announced in Armenia that the Foreign Minister was going to visit the United States.
