The escalation of tensions in the Lachin corridor and other sections of the contact line is cause for grave concern. Unfortunately, there are human losses. We would like to convey our sincere condolences to the loved ones of those who lost their lives and to wish speedy recovery to the wounded.
Russian peacekeepers are doing all they can to stabilise the situation on the ground. Intensive work with both sides is conducted via all channels and at all levels, including top leadership. Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov maintains close contact with his Azerbaijani and Armenian colleagues.
We urge the sides to display restraint and observe the ceasefire. We firmly believe that all differences must be settled exclusively by political and diplomatic means, with the account of the sides' positions and in strict conformity with the Statement by the Leaders of Russia, Azerbaijan and Armenia of November 9, 2020.
We are convinced that the sides should focus on creating a positive agenda in Baku-Yerevan relations in the current trilateral negotiating formats.
