Our peacekeepers deployed in Nagorno-Karabakh facilitate contacts between Karabakh representatives and Azerbaijani officials, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said.

"They met yesterday; I think they will meet again today. Our peacekeepers are present there, based on the fact that their role is important for strengthening confidence, so that the people of Karabakh feel safe, especially in the first period. How long it will take, how many peacekeepers are needed for this, is a question that is solved on the spot," he said.
