ArmInfo. With the decisive contribution of Russia, the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh was stopped. This was stated by Russian President Vladimir Putin during a video message to the participants and guests of the IX Moscow Conference on International Security. According to the Russian leader, an important aspect of ensuring global security is the settlement of regional conflicts, and Russia is actively promoting this.
"With the decisive contribution of Russia, the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh was stopped. Russian peacekeepers reliably guarantee peace and security in the region, do a lot to improve the humanitarian situation, demining territories and restoring social infrastructure," Putin said. He also recalled that thanks to Russian military assistance, it was possible to liberate most of the territory of Syria from international terrorists, prevent the collapse of the Syrian state, and political and diplomatic work within the Astana format, together with Turkey and Iran, made it possible to start the process of Syrian settlement under the auspices of the UN.
"Russia never forgets about the responsibility it bears for the security and prosperity of neighboring countries, with which we are brought together by inextricable historical, cultural, human ties. It intends to continue to contribute to the de-escalation of regional conflicts, strengthening peace and stability on our common continent," the Russian leader summed up.
