Peacekeepers must be deployed to monitor the maintenance of the ceasefire in Nagorno-Karabakh. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said this in a conversation with Russian media.

Lavrov is confident that a political settlement to the Karabakh conflict is possible. The Russian FM said that on Wednesday he discussed the situation in Nagorno-Karabakh with his Azerbaijani counterpart.

A Russian observer military may be included in a mechanism for overseeing ceasefire in the conflict zone, the Russian Foreign Minister added.
