Armenia reports truce after new clashes with Azerbaijan

TBILISI, Georgia - A senior Armenian official said late Wednesday a truce was agreed with Azerbaijan after two days of violence linked to a decades-old dispute between the ex-Soviet states over the territory of Nagorno-Karabakh.Russia is the pre-eminent diplomatic force in the region, with some 2,000 peacekeepers there. Moscow brokered the deal that ended the 2020 fighting - dubbed the second Karabakh war - in which hundreds died.

Mr Putin appealed for calm after the violence erupted and other countries called for restraint on both sides. "If we say that Azerbaijan has carried out aggression against Armenia, it means that they have managed to establish control over some territories," Russia's Tass agency quoted him as saying.Armenia and Azerbaijan have been fighting for decades over Nagorno-Karabakh, a mountainous enclave recognised as part of Azerbaijan while being home to a large Armenian population.

Skirmishes have since erupted periodically despite meetings between Mr Pashinyan and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev aimed at clinching a comprehensive peace settlement.
