The Kremlin is deeply concerned about the shootings on the border of Armenia and Azerbaijan, and calls on the parties to show restraint and cease-fire, Russian Presidential spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said.
"We are deeply concerned about the shootings on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border. We call on both sides to exercise restraint and respect their obligations under the ceasefire, " Peskov said, answering a question about the Kremlin's assessment of the situation on the border of these countries.
"Russia, as we have already stated at various levels, is ready to provide its mediation efforts for the settlement, being the co-chair of the Minsk Group. You know that there were intensive telephone contacts of the Foreign Minister (Sergey) Lavrov and his colleagues from Baku and Yerevan. So once again, we call on both sides for restraint," he added.
