MOSCOW (Sputnik) – The development of the events in Nagorno-Karabakh calls for even more concern that all of the states in the region share, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Tuesday.
“Contacts are being held along the lines of our organs and on the international arena and the concern that we’ve been talking about more than once unfortunately remains. So far the development of events calls for even more concern and this concern is shared by absolutely all the states in the region, all of the states included in the Minsk group of five governments are active, so therefore very energetic efforts are being taken, of course,” Peskov told journalists.
The conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh began in 1988, when the Armenian-dominated autonomous region sought to secede from the Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic, before the latter proclaimed independence following the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.
