The Kremlin said on Monday that "loud announcements" from U.S. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi on the causes of the border conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia were unlikely to help stabilise the situation, Reuters reported.

In a call with reporters, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that a "quiet and businesslike approach" to the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict would bear fruit.

Peskov said: "Anything... done in a quiet and businesslike approach can contribute to the normalization of relations, the stabilization of the situation on the border, all this can be welcomed. Can such high-profile actions and statements really contribute to the normalization of the situation? Let's see."

Pelosi visited Armenia this weekend in a show of U.S. support for the country following Azerbaijan’s military aggression.

Pelosi condemned “illegal and deadly attacks” by Azerbaijan on the Armenian territory, stressing that they "threaten prospects for a much-needed peace agreement."
