Statement by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in connection with the situation around Nagorno-Karabakh

In connection with the sharp escalation of the armed confrontation in Nagorno-Karabakh, we urge the conflicting parties to immediately stop the bloodshed, cease hostilities and eliminate civilian casualties.

The fate of the Nagorno-Karabakh settlement was radically influenced by the recognition by official Yerevan in October 2022 and May 2023 at summits under the auspices of the European Union of Nagorno-Karabakh as part of the territory of Azerbaijan. This changed the fundamental conditions under which the Statement of the Leaders of Russia, Azerbaijan and Armenia of November 9, 2020 was signed, as well as the position of the Russian peacekeeping contingent (RPC).

The following is a Comment by previous poster of this video:

☝️ Since its deployment in the region, the RMC has conscientiously carried out the tasks of maintaining the ceasefire and ensuring contacts between the Azerbaijani and Armenian sides. Our peacekeepers coordinated efforts to rectify the humanitarian situation on the ground, and also contributed to the launch of a direct dialogue between Baku and Stepanakert. Even during these hours, RMK provides assistance to the civilian population, including medical assistance, and is engaged in evacuation.

❗️The main thing now is to urgently return to the implementation of the set of trilateral agreements at the highest level of 2020-2022, which spell out all the steps for a peaceful solution to the Karabakh problem, stop the armed confrontation and do everything possible to ensure the rights and security of the population of Nagorno-Karabakh.
