Russia continues mediation efforts to normalize the situation in Karabakh.

Axar.az reports that the statement came from Russian President Vladimir Putin.

"Our friends are working to stop the fighting in Karabakh, which has killed thousands of Azerbaijani and Armenian citizens. However, we have followed the key agreements reached in the OSCE Minsk Group, especially between its co-chairs - Russia, the United States and France. The main task was to stop the bloodshed, to register the tripartite agreement between the Presidents of Azerbaijan, Russia and the Prime Minister of Armenia, which led to a ceasefire," he said.
