UN security council calls on Azerbaijan, Armenia to immediately cease Fighting - President

United Nation, Sep30 (Sputnik) - The UN Security Council expressed concern over the clashes between Armenia and Azerbaijan in the Nagorno-Karabakh region and called for an immediate cessation of hostiles and return to the negotiating table, Niger Ambassador to the United Nations Abdou Abarry said in a statement.
Earlier on Tuesday, the UN Security Council held an emergency meeting behind closed doors and discussed the fighting between Armenia and Azerbaijan that started over the weekend.
"The Security Council members expressed concern over reports of large-scale military actions along the Line of Contact in the Nagorno-Karabakh contact zone," Abarry said. "The Security Council members voiced support for the call by the Secretary-General on the sides to immediately stop fighting, de-escalate tensions and return to meaningful negotiations without delay."
The UN Security Council strongly condemned the loss of life and backed the statement issued earlier by the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres who called on both sides to halt the fighting and return to negotiations, Abarry said.
In addition, the UN Security Council expressed support for the central role of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe Minsk Group co-chairs and urged the sides to work closely with them, Abarry said.
On Sunday, Yerevan and Baku accused each other of military provocations in the disputed breakaway republic of Nagorno-Karabakh. Azerbaijan announced that the Armenian military had shelled settlements on the contact line in the area. According to the Armenian Defense Ministry, Nagorno-Karabakh "was subjected to air and missile attacks."
Nagorno-Karabakh and Armenia declared martial law and general mobilization. Azerbaijan first said it had no such need, but later said it declared a partial martial law and partial mobilization.
A number of states, including Russia, Germany and France, urged the parties to exercise restraint. Turkey has said it would provide Azerbaijan with any support it asks for.
