“Congratulations to Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, who just agreed to adhere to a cease fire effective at midnight. Many lives will be saved,” US President Donald Trump wrote on Twitter. The Minsk Group said its co-chairs and the foreign ministers agreed to meet again in Geneva on October 29.

The fighting that broke out on September 27 over the disputed territory has surged to its worst level since the 1990s, when some 30,000 people were killed. The defence ministry of the Nagorno-Karabakh region said on Sunday it had recorded another 11 casualties among its forces, pushing the military death toll to 974.

Sarkissian, in comments reprinted by the Armenpress news agency, called on “global players” to step in immediately to bring about a ceasefire and said Russia was “a trusted and pro-active mediator” between the conflicting sides.
