Disappointed with collapsed of Nagorno-Karabakh ceasefire: Donald Trump

TIL Desk/World/Washington/US President Donald Trump said that it was disappointing to see a US-brokered ceasefire reached between Armenia and Azerbaijan over the Nagorno-Karabakh region collapsed.

“It’s disappointing to see that, but that’s what happens when you have countries that have been going at it for a long time,” Trump told reporters on Tuesday when asked about the collapse of the newly reached ceasefire between Azerbaijan and Armenia.

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo held separate phone conversations with Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, according to a statement issued by the State Department earlier in the day.

“Secretary Pompeo pressed the leaders to abide by their commitments to cease hostilities and pursue a diplomatic solution to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict under the auspices of the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs, and noted that there is no military solution to this conflict,” said the statement.
