Zakharova: After the escalation of the conflict in Karabakh, Russia called on the parties to restraint

Her comment was posted on the agency's website.

“We express our serious concern about the escalation of tension in the zone of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

Over the past few days, there have been repeated violations of the ceasefire,” Zakharova said.

She recalled that on March 5 there was an armed incident that "caused human casualties from both the Armenian and Azerbaijani sides."

Earlier, the Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan announced the death of two Azerbaijani servicemen as a result of an armed incident in Karabakh.

On March 3, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov discussed with his Armenian counterpart Ararat Mirzoyan the intensification of efforts to normalize Armenian-Azerbaijani relations.
