Moscow, Russia – – AFP
Russia has urged Azerbaijan and Armenia to “end bloodshed” and pursue peace talks, after Baku launched “anti-terror operations” in the disputed Armenian-majority region of Nagorno-Karabakh.
“The Russian side urges an end to the bloodshed… and a return to a peaceful settlement,” foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said. She said “all steps for a peaceful solution are spelled out in (Moscow-brokered) agreements signed between 2020 and 2022.”
