The Kremlin has commented on a possible meeting of the Armenian, Russian and Azerbaijani leaders, maintaining that the consent and readiness of all parties is necessary for such a thing to happen.
“Of course, such contacts will be necessary at some stage, but in order for them to happen the consent and readiness of the three parties is necessary,” Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said on Wednesday, November 17, TASS reports.
He said Moscow calls on the parties to the conflict to exercise restraint and advocates compliance with the trilateral agreements.
"Indeed, the resumption of hostilities on the [Armenian-Azerbaijani] border is something that became a cause for serious concern, but thanks to the mediation of the Russian side, it was possible to call the conflicting parties to restraint," the Kremlin spokesman added.
In clashes launched by Azerbaijan on Tuesday, the Armenian side has confirmed the death of 1 serviceman, while 13 others have been captured by Azerbaijan. Two combat positions too have gone under the control of Azeri forces, 24 Armenian troops have gone missing.
