A joint statement by the United States, Armenia and Azerbaijan states that the humanitarian ceasefire between Yerevan and Baku "will enter into force at 08:00 local time (07:00 Moscow time) on October 26, 2020."


The corresponding statement was published on the website of the State Department.

The text says that the United States "facilitated tense negotiations between the foreign ministers and the co-chairs of the Minsk Group (OSCE) so that Armenia and Azerbaijan come closer to a peaceful resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict."
