ArmInfo.The conflict over the Nagorno-Karabakh region can only be resolved through negotiations. This is stated in a statement by Germany's Foreign Minister Heiko Maas published on the website of the Federal Foreign Office of Germany.
"The news about renewed massive clashes between Azerbaijan and Armenia along the entire line of conflict do alert me. There are already reports of civilian casualties on both sides. I call on the parties to the conflict to immediately stop all acts of fighting and especially the shelling of villages and cities.
