"…Presidents [of Russia, Armenia and Azerbaijan] adjusted the trilateral statement that reaffirms their commitment to normalize the situation on the contact line, includes their agreement on increasing the number of OSCE monitors working in the conflict zone and expresses [their] commitment to create conditions for steady progress in negotiations on political settlement of the conflict," the minister said.
The outbreak of violence erupted in the self-proclaimed Nagorno-Karabakh republic on April 2, and resulted in multiple casualties. On April 5, Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a Russian-brokered ceasefire in Moscow.
Nagorno-Karabakh is an Azerbaijan’s split region that proclaimed its independence in 1991. After the military conflict ended in 1994, Azerbaijan lost the control over the region mostly populated by the Armenians.
