Russia’s FM Lavrov calls to lower tensions in Karabakh

MOSCOW, 25 December 2022, (TON): Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Friday called for de-escalation in Azerbaijan’s Armenian-populated Nagorno-Karabakh, a region which has sparked two wars between the Caucasus neighbours.

Lavrov told reporters “we need to de-escalate the situation as soon as possible.”

According to Lavrov, Armenia’s representatives were expected at the talks but pulled out at the last moment.

For more than a week Azerbaijani activists have blocked the only land link connecting Karabakh to Armenia, the Lachin corridor, to protest what they claim is illegal mining.
