Moscow calls for restraint to the parties to the conflict on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border, and is in favor of maintaining the trilateral agreement, Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Wednesday, according to TASS.

"Indeed, the resumption of hostilities on the [Armenian-Azerbaijani] border is what caused serious concern yesterday. But thanks to the mediation efforts of the Russian side, it was managed to call on the conflicting parties to show restraint," the Kremlin representative added. "The Russian side will continue to do that. Nevertheless, we hope that the only way to stabilize the situation is to fulfill the trilateral agreements."

As reported earlier, at around 1pm on Tuesday, the units of the Azerbaijani armed forces attacked the Armenian positions located in the direction of the eastern border of Armenia. Also, the adversary used artillery, armored vehicles, and firearms of various calibers in this attack.

And according to the agreement reached through the mediation of the Russian side, the exchange of fire was stopped at 6:30pm, and the situation has relatively stabilized.

The Armenian side has one fallen and 13 captured servicemen. Also, the contact with another 24 soldiers was lost during the hostilities, and their fate is unknown at the moment.
