OSCE Minsk Group Condemns 'Unacceptable Escalation' Of Hostilities Between Armenian, Azerbaijani Forces

Fighting between Armenian and Azerbaijani forces in the vicinity of the unrecognized Nagorno-Karabakh Republic has reached its highest level of intensity since the signing of the 1994 cease-fire. They are also targeting civilian settlements, according to the OSCE's Minsk Group, a tactic that the Minsk Group co-chairs have branded "an unacceptable escalation."
