Putin hopes for 'peaceful' resolution in Nagorno-Karabakh
Russian President Vladimir Putin said Wednesday he hoped for a "peaceful" resolution to the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh, AFP reported.
"We are in close contact with all the sides of the conflict: with authorities in Yerevan, with authorities in Stepanakert and in Baku," Putin said during a meeting with China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Wednesday.
"I hope that we can reach de-escalation and transfer a solution to this problem onto a peaceful course," he added. It was unclear if the footage, distributed by state television, was recorded before or after a ceasefire announcement in Karabakh.
