Moscow: President of Russia Vladimir Putin and his Turkey president Recep Tayyip Erdogan have emphasized on the significance of observing the cease-fire in the dispute-ridden Nagorno-Karabakh area, the Kremlin stated in an announcement.
During a call on Wednesday, both the leaders tended to the dispute and reaffirmed the significance of observing the humanitarian truce settled upon during a three-sided meeting between Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Russia on October 10 in Moscow, reports Xinhua news organization.
They spoke out in favor of venturing up the political cycle, specifically, in view of the improvements of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) Minsk Group, as indicated by the announcement.
It said: “The Russian President expressed serious concern over the participation of militants from the Middle East region in the hostilities.”
“The urgent need for mutual efforts aimed at an immediate cessation of the bloodshed and a transition to a peaceful settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh problem was stressed,” it included.
Russia communicated the expectation that Turkey would contribute in a valuable way to the de-acceleration of the dispute, considering Ankara’s participation in the OSCE.
The advancement comes after Azerbaijan, which is straightforwardly backed by Turkey, blamed Armenia for disregarding the truce, only two days after it was ordered, by attacking its second-biggest city of Ganja and causing regular citizen casualties.
In any case, the Armenian Defense Ministry denied the accusation, saying that it was bogus information.
Resumed conflicts among Azerbaijan and Armenia emitted on September 27, with serious fights seething in the Nagorno-Karabakh, a contested territory that is universally perceived as a part of Azerbaijan yet mostly governed by the Republic of Artsakh, a de facto independent state with an Armenian ethnic dominant part.
The region experienced flare-ups of viciousness in the late spring of 2014, April 2016, and this July.
Azerbaijan and Armenia have forced military law and dispatched mobilization attempts.
In the most recent clash, Nagorno-Karabakh authorities have affirmed that 201 of their workforces and a number of regular people have died.
Azerbaijan has said that 22 regular folks were executed, yet didn’t give data about military losses.
Armenia and Azerbaijan had a battle over the area in 1988-94, in the long run announcing a truce. Be that as it may, a settlement was never reached.
The current battling is the most awful observed since the truce and the two former Soviet republics have been putting the blame on one another.
