Russia, France and the U.S. call for an immediate cease-fire in Armenian-Azerbaijani clashes
(Worthy News) – Russia, France, and the U.S. on Thursday issued calls for an immediate cease-fire between Armenia and Azerbaijan as clashes between the two rivals sparked recently over the disputed enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh killing dozens of people and threatening to drag nearby Turkey and Russia into a direct military confrontation.
Nagorno-Karabakh tensions have simmered since the collapse of the Soviet Union, when Armenian and Azerbaijani forces fought a war over the territory, a heavily ethnic Armenian enclave surrounded by Azeri territory.
Russia, which has offered to mediate peace talks, helped broker a cease-fire in 1994 when Nagorno-Karabakh broke away from Azerbaijan, but on-again-off-again fighting has flared over the years, such as in 2016 when hundreds were killed. [ Source: Washington Times (Read More…) ]
