Kremlin announces primary task of Karabakh settlement

"Kremlin calls on Armenia and Azerbaijan to return to the ceasefire regime," the presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

"The Kremlin is worried. Indeed, the situation arouses serious concern in the Kremlin," Peskov noted.

According to the Kremlin spokesman, Russian President Vladimir Putin so far has had no telephone conversations with Serzh Sargsyan or Ilham Aliyev. "You know, intensive dialogue is maintained at the level of ministers," he noted.

Peskov also said that so far there are no plans by Putin to organize a meeting between the conflicting parties, as was done during the previous escalation of the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh back in 2014.

"So far I can say nothing, because there are no agreed joint events," he said. "You know that top-level meetings are typically preceded by very serious work at the working expert level. Any top-level meetings should be well organized. Expert-level work is now under way," Peskov said.

Recall, on the night of April 2 all frontier positions of Azerbaijan were exposed to heavy fire from large-caliber weapons, mortars, grenade launchers and guns. In addition, Azerbaijani settlements near the front line, densely populated by civilians, were shelled.
