Azerbaijan halted military operations in the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region after Armenians in the territory said they’d agreed to disband their forces following an intervention by Russia.
Russian President Vladimir Putin later told Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi at a meeting in St. Petersburg that the Kremlin is “in very close contact with all parties to the conflict” in its former backyard. “I hope that we will be able to achieve de-escalation and move the solution to this problem in a peaceful direction,” Putin said.
