The UN Security Council (SC) called on Armenia and Azerbaijan to immediately cease hostilities.

This was reported by TASS , citing the Chairman of the Security Council in September, Permanent Representative of Niger to the UN Abdou Abarri following the results of closed consultations held on Tuesday.

“Members of the UN Security Council support the Secretary General’s appeal to the parties to the conflict to immediately stop hostilities, reduce tension and immediately return to negotiations,” he said.

Closed meetings of the UN Security Council imply the participation of only 15 countries of the Security Council. Abarri did not rule out that, if necessary, the Council will hold a meeting with the participation of representatives of Armenia and Azerbaijan. “If necessary, we will talk with both ambassadors so that they can come to an understanding,” Abarri informed.

“The countries of the Council deeply condemned the use of force that caused the death of people,” he added.
