Kremlin: Key Karabakh result is that "the guns are silent"

The main result of the truce in Nagorno-Karabakh is that "the guns are silent", Kremlin press secretary Dmitry Peskov said Tuesday, November 17, TASS reports.

“You need to talk to military experts,” he said, when asked about how the Kremlin assesses the results of the first week of peace in Karabakh. “But first of all, you need to focus on the fact that the guns are silent. This is the main result. People do not die. This is the most valuable thing that can exist."

Peskov was also asked to comment on the statement from the U.S. State Department that Washington and Paris are expecting details about Turkey's role in the Karabakh conflict.

"If our co-chairs in the Minsk Group need clarifications, there is no doubt that these clarifications will be provided. Moreover, our diplomatic agencies maintain regular contacts on Karabakh affairs," Peskov added.

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, Russian and Azerbaijani Presidents Vladimir Putin and Ilham Aliyev have signed a statement to end the war in Karabakh after almost 45 days. Karabakh (Artsakh) President Arayik Harutyunyan has said he has agreed to the deal signed by Armenia, Russia and Azerbaijan.
