Armenia Azerbaijan War

Armenia and Azerbaijan announced on Tuesday they had started fixing their border, as part of normalisation efforts between the arch foes that had been locked in a decades-long territorial conflict.

Armenia and Azerbaijan have been able to agree on the basic principles for a peace treaty but are still "speaking different diplomatic languages", Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said on Saturday, according to Russia's TASS news agency.

More than three quarters of the 120,000-strong population of the ethnic Armenian breakaway region of Nagorno-Karabakh had fled by Friday afternoon after defeat by Azerbaijan.

Armenian separatists said Tuesday that two civilians had been killed and nearly two dozen injured in Nagorno-Karabakh since Azerbaijan launched a so-called anti-terror operation in the breakaway region earlier in the day.

Russia on Tuesday urged Azerbaijan and Armenia to "end bloodshed" and pursue peace talks, after Baku launched "anti-terror operations" in the disputed Armenian-majority region of Nagorno-Karabakh.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Friday that despite the Ukraine conflict, Moscow had enough resources to mediate in a conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan after a series of border skirmishes.

In the midst of fresh fighting along the Armenia-Azerbaijan border, India on Tuesday called upon the "aggressor side" to "immediately cease hostilities" and said there can be no military solution to any conflict.

Armenia said on Tuesday that nearly 50 of its troops were killed in clashes with Azerbaijan, the worst fighting between the arch foes since their 2020 war over the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region.

Baku and Yerevan put themselves on a war footing after heavy fighting erupted Sunday between Azerbaijan and Armenian separatists, claiming military and civilian casualties on both sides, including at least one child.
