We continue to closely monitor the situation regarding the border incident between Azerbaijan and Armenia. This was reported by the Russian Foreign Ministry .

“The Russian side assists Baku and Yerevan in reducing tensions through regular contacts at the highest levels.  Operational communications are maintained through the military and border services of our countries.

We reaffirm the need for strict observance of the ceasefire regime, as well as the strict implementation of other provisions of the statements of the leaders of Azerbaijan, Armenia and Russia of 9 November 2020 and 21 January, 2021.

We proceed from the basis that all such incidents should be resolved exclusively by peaceful negotiations. As a long-term solution, we see the launch of the process of delimitation of the Azerbaijani-Armenian border with its subsequent demarcation. The Russian Federation is ready to continue in every possible way to promote the consistent normalization of the situation in the South Caucasus.
