The situation in Nagorno-Karabakh causes serious concern in the Kremlin, presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov stated.
“The Kremlin is worried. Indeed, the situation arouses serious concern in the Kremlin”, Peskov said.
Peskov refrained from comments on statements by a number of Russian senators trying to confer responsibility for the events in Nagorno-Karabakh on Turkey, TASS reported.
"I would rather refrain from comments," he said. "It is a very sensible matter which requires delicate and serious approaches in terms of assessments or actions."
At the same time, according to the Russian President's spokesperson, telephone negotiations between Vladimir Putin, Serzh Sargsyan and Ilham Aliyev have not been held yet.
"No, he has had no conversations," Peskov said. "You know, intensive dialogue is maintained at the level of ministers. If there are any contacts, we will be glad to inform you."
The representative of the Kremlin has also noticed that there are no plans to organize a meeting between Putin and conflicting parties so far.
"So far, I can say nothing because there are no agreed joint events," he said when asked whether there are plans to organize such meeting now. "You know that top-level meetings are typically preceded by very serious work at the working expert level. Any top-level meetings should be well organized. Expert-level work is now underway."
