The 19th meeting of the OSCE started on Thursday in Irish capital of Dublin.
Foreign Minister of Russia Sergey Lavrov, Secretary of State of U.S. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Minister Delegate for European Affairs of France Bernard Cazeneuve issued a joint declaration and stated, "We call upon the parties to the Upper Karabakh conflict to demonstrate the political will needed to reach a peaceful settlement. As our Presidents stated at Los Cabos on June 18, 2012, the parties should be guided by the Helsinki principles, particularly those relating to the non-use of force or the threat of force, territorial integrity, and equal rights and self-determination of peoples, and the elements outlined in our countries' statements at L'Aquila in 2009 and Muskoka in 2010. Recalling the statement of our Presidents at Deauville in 2011, we again urge the parties to take decisive steps to reach a peaceful settlement."
