In a statement issued on Monday, the Russian Foreign Ministry announced its concern about the crisis between Armenia and Azerbaijan, expressing that Moscow is deeply concerned about the worsening situation between Armenia and Azerbaijan.

The ministry said in its statement: “The Russian Foreign Ministry expresses its deep concern about the aggravation of the situation on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border, yesterday, Sunday, 12 July. According to the information received, the hostilities are continuing, and the artillery has been used. There are dead and wounded, and we express our condolences to the families and friends of the victims. ”

The Russian Foreign Ministry statement indicated that "Moscow considers the escalation threatening the security of the region, and that it is unacceptable."

The ministry statement urged the conflicting parties to show restraint and strict adherence to the ceasefire, and Moscow is ready to provide the necessary assistance to stabilize the situation.

It was mainly Azerbaijan that started the escalation last Sunday, July 12, 2020, when a group of its soldiers tried to penetrate the joint Armenian-Azerbaijani borders in the neighboring Tuvuz and Tavush regions on the two sides of the border between the first countries in Azerbaijan and the second in Armenia, in the northeast of the country.

Armenia sent several warnings to the Azerbaijani soldiers to prevent them from approaching the border, but they did not care, believing that their mission would be easy .. What was from the Armenian side, but that he opened fire on them and started the battles that are still going on until the moment of writing these lines and that you can follow a full coverage about them through this link.

The statement of the Russian Foreign Ministry is considered a hazy statement as a result of the relations it has with Turkey and also the result of the situation in Ukraine and the Crimea, forcing Moscow to deal with Armenia without honesty and maneuvering in its words and speeches.
