"Your visit comes amid the deterioration of the situation in the zone of the Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. Unfortunately, for many years we haven't been able to find a solution there, periodically we are faced with armed provocations of the Armenian side. Another attempt was made in the beginning of this month," Aliyev said.
"As a result of the efforts a truce has been restored, although it is not always observed, but in general over the last few days, we've seen deescalation, and we believe that this is a positive sign," Alyiev said.
Medvedev said he hopes for long-lasting peace in Karabakh.
"I hope that the peace established at this moment will be long-lasting and the parties will continue discussions on the settlement at the negotiating table," Medvedev said.
