    RUSSIA CONCERNED ABOUT DETERIORATING SITUATION IN NAGORNO-KARABAKH

    Russia is concerned about the deteriorating situation in
    Nagorno-Karabakh and has called Armenia and Azerbaijan to take
    additional measures to stabilize the situation.

    "We call the parties of the conflict to take additional measures to
    stabilize the situation, including the initiation of mechanisms under
    the Agreement on strengthening the ceasefire on February 4, 1995,"
    the Russian Foreign Ministry's Information and Press Department said
    in a statement.

    "As a result of the recent violations of the ceasefire on the contact
    line and the border there are casualties among military personnel.

    Reports say about wounded civilians," the statement added.

    Russia supposes that in case of further escalation of the intensity
    negative consequences are inventible for the resolving process of
    the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. "The implementation of the agreements
    reached at the Azerbaijani-Armenian summit in Vienna on November 19,
    2013 can seriously complicate".

    Armenia occupied over 20 percent of Azerbaijan's internationally
    recognized territory, including Nagorno-Karabakh and seven adjacent
    regions, after laying territorial claims against its South Caucasus
    neighbor that caused a brutal war in the early 1990s.

    The UN Security Council's four resolutions on Armenian withdrawal
    have not been enforced to this day.

    Peace talks, mediated by Russia, France and the US and the OSCE Minsk
    Group are underway on the basis of a peaceful outline -called Madrid
    Principle -proposed by the Minsk Group co-chairs. The negotiations
    have been largely fruitless so far.

    Armenia constantly violates the ceasefire on the contact line of
    Azerbaijani and Armenian troops, and these violations have intensified
    recently, reaching more than 200 times a day.

    The Armenian troops shot dead Captain Elnur Jafarov, an Azerbaijani
    officer, and Lieutenant Sabuhi Azizov, an officer of the Azerbaijani
    armed forces, amid the growing tension along the contact line between
    the Armenian and Azerbaijan troops.
