Oxu.Az reports citing Armenpress that the statement came from OSCE Minsk Group co-chair James Warlick.

"The United States has repeatedly urged the parties to take all measures to preserve ceasefire. The same was discussed during the recent meeting with both parties in the region. We hope that the parties will show restraint which will promote the final solution of the issues.
