The United States has called for a "diplomatic solution" to an escalating Armenian-Azerbaijani war of words over the planned launch of commercial flights from Armenia to Nagorno-Karabakh.
"The United States urges the parties to find a diplomatic solution to issues relating to the operation of the airport, in keeping with the relevant international agreements, customary international law, and the current practice between Armenia and Azerbaijan with respect to civilian air travel," State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland told a news briefing in Washington on Friday.
Nuland would not say whether or not the planned flights from Yerevan and Stepanakert should go ahead without Azerbaijan's permission. She cited instead statements on the issue that have been made by U.S., Russian and French mediators seeking to broker a peaceful settlement of the Karabakh conflict.
