The Ministry of Defense of Armenia announced that the ceasefire with Azerbaijan is being maintained and that the situation on the border has not changed after the outbreak of armed clashes.

The dispute over the Nagorno-Karabakh region in the Caucasus between the two neighboring countries has been going on for decades.

"The armed clashes that broke out on Tuesday, the heaviest since the two sides were at war in 2020, ended thanks to the involvement of the international community, during Thursday, and after the unsuccessful mediation of Russia," said the Security Council of Armenia.

Azerbaijan has not officially confirmed the ceasefire that was initially announced by the Armenian Security Council, Radio Free Europe reports.

The United States and the United Nations (UN) welcomed the ceasefire.

"We welcome the cessation of hostilities between Azerbaijan and Armenia and will continue to work with the parties to cement it," US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken tweeted.

UN Assistant Secretary General Miroslav Jenca said that the international community must remain fully committed to a peaceful solution between Armenia and Azerbaijan and make every effort to de-escalate current tensions, return the parties to the negotiating table and help them achieve peace and stability in the region.
