Armenia says it is ready to work for Nagorno-Karabakh ceasefire

Armenia said on Friday it would work with Russia, the United States and France on renewing a ceasefire in Nagorno-Karabakh as the death toll rose on the sixth day of fighting over the breakaway enclave in the South Caucasus.

Armenia’s foreign ministry said the country was “committed to a resolution of the conflict through peaceful means.”

“We will continue to adamantly repel Azerbaijan’’s aggression but, at the same time, are also ready to engage with the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs on a ceasefire based on the agreements of 1994-1995,” it said, referring to an earlier ceasefire.
