Russia urges the parties to the Karabakh conflict to take necessary measures for stabilization of the situation, spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova said.
She noted that Russia is keeping this issue under special control and is doing everything to bring it back to the settlement process in case of aggravation of the situation.
“We support the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs’ statement that calls for the cessation of violence and the resumption of negotiations,” she noted, commenting on ceasefire regime violation which led to the killing of two civilians, including a toddler.
“We offer our condolences to the families of the deceased. We consider further bloodshed unacceptable and urge the conflict parties to take necessary measures to stabilize the situation”, she added.
On Tuesday evening, the Azerbaijani forces, which are located nearby Alkhanlu village, opened fire on positions of Karabakh Defense Army. A 52-year-old Azerbaijani woman and a 2-year-old girl died in the ensuing exchange of fire.
