Moscow is seriously concerned about new aggravation on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said.

Her remarks came after Azerbaijani aggression on the border with Armenia on January 11, which killed three Armenian servicemen and injured two more.

She called on the parties to refrain from the use of force and to resolve all disputed issues only by political and diplomatic means.

She said that in the long term, the main recipe for ensuring stability and security in the region is to launch as soon as possible the process of delimitation of the Armenian-Azerbaijani border with subsequent demarcation, as it was stated in the joint statements of the leaders of the three countries.

She added that it is important to work towards the creation of a bilateral commission and that Russia is ready to provide it with full consultative assistance.
