Dmitry Peskov, spokesman for the Russian president, did not comment on Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's statement that he had discussed with Russian President Vladimir Putin the avenues for expanding the efforts—together with some other countries in the region—toward the ceasefire in Nagorno-Karabakh [(Artsakh)], TASS reported.

"I cannot tell you anything but what we said last evening," Peskov told reporters on Wednesday.

The Kremlin spokesman only confirmed that the implementation of the agreements reached between President Putin, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan was discussed during a telephone conversation. “The modalities of joint work along the lines of the joint monitoring center" were also at the focus, Peskov added.

On November 9, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, and Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a joint statement on a complete cessation of hostilities— which Azerbaijan had launched on September 27—in and around Artsakh. Accordingly, Russian peacekeepers are deployed in the region to monitor the implementation of the ceasefire and the cessation of hostilities. But this statement also stipulates the handover of part of Artsakh lands to Azerbaijan.
