Ambassador O’Brien expressed deep concern on the part of the United States over the situation in the South Caucasus. He reaffirmed the U.S. interest in establishing an immediate ceasefire, achieving stability, and the United States’ readiness to be of service to Armenia and the region.

The U.S. official stressed that there is no military solution to the conflict and went on to reaffirm the position expressed by U.S. President Donald Trump in Thursday's joint statement made with Presidents Putin and Macron.

The prime minister gave details of the current situation. Nikol Pashinyan stressed the fact of Turkey’s involvement in hostilities and the deployment of Syrian mercenaries and terrorists in Azerbaijan. The premier highlighted the need to oust the mercenaries and terrorists from the region, without which a ceasefire is impossible.
