“International peacekeepers can be involved if there is the consent of both sides, both sides of the conflict, and this is not only Armenia, but also Azerbaijan,” he said.

Peskov stressed that Armenia is one of Russia's closest allies, while Azerbaijan is also its "very valuable and dear partner."

Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan discussed the situation in Karabakh in detail at a meeting in St. Petersburg.

On December 24, the Russian leader also held telephone conversations with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, during which the trilateral agreements between the leaders of Russia, Azerbaijan and Armenia related to ensuring security on the Azerbaijani-Armenian border were touched upon.
