Trubnikov: There is no military solution to the Karabakh conflict -  this was proved by the incident of July 4

ArmInfo. There is no military solution to the Karabakh conflict - this evidence was proved by the incident of July 4, which killed civilians. This was stated by former 

OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chair Vyacheslav Trubnikov to haqqin.az.  "Here 

you can see what the pause in the negotiation process leads to.

To avoid the death of civilians on both sides, it is necessary to 

continue negotiations, and the OSCE Minsk Group to intensify its work 

in this direction," Tubnikov said. At the same time, he added that at 

the next meetings with his Armenian counterparts he would directly 

tell them that the solution to the conflict should have only one 

formula:  "there were neither winners nor losers here and there can 

not be any."

"And for our part - Russia, the United States and France, as 

co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group, should spur the parties to peace 

talks, which have no alternative," concluded the ex-mediator.

To note, on July 4, the Azerbaijani Armed Forces continuously shelled 

Karabakh positions from 60 and 82 mm mortars throughout the day, in 

addition, they used Turkish missile systems TR-107. The Armed Forces 

of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic took counter-action, as a result of 

which two Azerbaijani civilians were killed, another one was injured. 

This is due to the fact that the enemy's firing point was located in 

the immediate vicinity of the settlement. The OSCE Minsk Group 

co-chairs issued a statement urging the sides to stop fighting and 

return to the negotiating table.
