Baku / 08/01/19 / Turan: Moscow is concerned about the aggravation of the situation on the border between Armenia and Azerbaijan, and calls for restraint, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said at a briefing in Moscow on August 1.
Representatives of Azerbaijan and Armenia accused each other of shelling on the border last weekend. Yerevan also announced the death of an Armenian military.
"We are really concerned about the aggravation of the situation on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border, as a result of which an Armenian soldier was killed, and there are wounded on both sides," RIA-Novosti quoted Zakharova as saying.
According to her, the growth of tension runs counter to recent agreements on observing a ceasefire and the stated intentions to reach a settlement by political means.
"We proceed from the fact that further escalation is unacceptable. We urge the participants in the confrontation to show restraint, to abandon the use of force, and to take measures aimed at stabilizing the situation," Zakharova added. -02D-
