"We are ready for negotiations and peacekeeping mission in Nagorno Karabakh. But we reiterate that resolution of the conflict by use of force is inadmissible," Russian State Duma member, first deputy chairman of the parliamentary committee on defense, Alexey Sigutkin said.

Military cooperation between Russia and Armenia bases on state agreement, he said. "In compliance with the agreement on joint security signed October 27, 2000 by the Russian Federation and the Republic of Armenia, a united group of armed forces of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Armenia was formed to ensure stability in the region," Sigutkin said, Day.az reports.
