Morgan Ortagus, US State Department Spokeswoman, released a statement saying: „Deputy Secretary Biegun called the Foreign Minister of Azerbaijan, Jeyhun Bayramov, and the Foreign Minister of Armenia, Zohrab Mnatsakanyan, to urge both sides to cease hostilities immediately, to use the existing direct communication links between them to avoid further escalation, and to avoid unhelpful rhetoric and actions that further raise tensions on the ground … The United States believes participation in the escalating violence by external parties would be deeply unhelpful and only exacerbate regional tensions.“
