Kremlin urges halt to Karabakh fighting

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday that Russia wanted the fighting between ethnic Armenian and Azeri forces over the region of Nagorno-Karabakh to stop, and warned that talk of providing military support to either side only added fuel to the fire.

Speaking to reporters on a conference call, Peskov added that Moscow was in constant contact with the authorities in Turkey, Armenia and Azerbaijan about the conflict.
