We are concerned about the armed incident and the violation of the ceasefire regime that occurred. Maria Zakharova, the official representative of the Russian foreign ministry, said this at Wednesday’s ministry press briefing, commenting on Azerbaijan's military aggression last night, as a result of which four Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) soldiers were killed.
"We call on the parties to exercise restraint and settle all disputed issues in a peaceful, political-diplomatic way, in cooperation with the command of the Russian peacekeeping troops. And we believe that prompt steps to unblock the Lachin Corridor and create conditions for the normal life of the civilian population will contribute to the de-escalation of the situation," said Zakharova.
