KATHMANDU: Armenia and Azerbaijan have agreed a temporary ceasefire in the conflict on the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region, BBC reported.
Russia’s foreign minister announced the agreement following 10 hours of talks in the Russian capital.
Sergey Lavrov said the two countries would now begin “substantive” talks.
More than 300 people have died and thousands displaced since the latest violence in the long-running conflict broke out on 27 September.
Nagorno-Karabakh is run by ethnic Armenians although it is officially part of Azerbaijan.
